Join us for a great meeting. Al Spain from UNK Aviation will be our guest speaker.

A U.S. Army veteran, Purple Heart recipient and co-founder of JetBlue Airways, Spain started the newest chapter of his lifelong adventure last year, when he became a faculty member at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.

The opportunity to teach aviation and business classes is an “absolute dream come true,” according to Spain, who brings nearly six decades of professional experience to the College of Business and Technology.

“Al’s aviation experiences are unparalleled. From his combat experience flying in Vietnam to establishing new aviation carriers in the Middle and Far East to directing airline operations in one of the world’s busiest air corridors over the U.S. eastern seaboard, Al has accomplished more than most aviators could ever dream of,” said David Ballinger, director of UNK’s aviation program. “And the best part is, he’s only just started.”

As always, lunch is provided. See you there!

Location: Old Terminal Building
