Description
The Women of Influence Luncheon Series provides opportunities and a venue for women leaders to network, share their best insights and business practices, and foster connections with others. Each quarterly luncheon will address a particular key issue and solutions to women's advancement.
The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce proudly welcomes Amelia Earhart. Let’s get the big questions out of the way first! Yes, this is her real name and no, she is not related. She was named after aviatrix Amelia Mary Earhart and has followed in her footsteps, completing a flight around the globe in 2014. Her family shares the same last name as the famous flyer and she feels fortunate to be named after a bold, courageous woman who has inspired so many parts of her life!
In 2014, Amelia departed on a flight around the world, to complete her lifelong goal of recreating her namesake’s monumental journey. She flew a Pilatus PC-12NG with co-pilot Shane Jordan along a 28,000-mile course, landing in sixteen different countries, over the course of eighteen days. Amelia became one of the youngest women in the world to complete this flight. Amelia is the president of the Fly With Amelia Foundation, a Colorado based non-profit organization which provides flight training scholarships to young women across the U.S. Amelia now works with multiple aviation organizations to support advancement of the aviation industry and to promote women in aviation.
When not on the air at 9NEWS, Amelia flies on a regular basis out of Centennial Airport, recently obtaining her commercial license in a Cessna 182RG. She is currently writing a book about her experience flying around the world. She lives in LoDo and loves staying active in her community, regularly speaking at events and performing school visits. Amelia has one dog, Nubbin, a chi-weenie adopted from the Denver Dumb Friends League.
Amelia is a member of the Board of Directors at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum and in 2014 was named by the Jaycees as one of the “Top Ten Young Americans."
