Our mission
Our mission is to provide a steady community for women in aviation and aerospace—especially those navigating the challenges of a layoff or career limbo. We turn transitions into opportunities by offering collective support, sharing resources, and rebuilding momentum, so no woman has to go it alone as she works to return to professional fulfillment and find her next place in the skies.
Welcome to IAWA Pivot, specifically designed for women in aviation and aerospace who are currently navigating the space between what was and what’s next. Whether you have been impacted by industry layoffs, are transitioning between major projects, or find yourself in a period of career limbo, this is your community for recalibration and growth. The aerospace industry is as challenging as it is rewarding, and the path to your next role isn't always linear. We believe that a layoff or a career pause is not a full stop—it is a strategic interval to refine your skills, expand your network, and prepare for your next ascent. Whether you are an engineer, a pilot, a data analyst, or a project manager, your expertise belongs in this industry. Join us as we navigate this transition together, ensuring that every member has the support they need to find their place in the skies once again.
We’re always looking for new members. Join today to be a part of Lean In’s global community.
Circles are small groups of women who come together—online or offline—for real talk and peer support.
We all need a safe space for real talk, inspiration, and support. Right now, we need community more than ever.
