Stories
Women in Avaition

Kendra Kincade is the Founder and Chairman of the Board of Elevate Aviation

 

Elevate came from her passion for philanthropy and her desire to help women become strong, independent, and self-sustainable. 

Kendra has been an Air Traffic Controller for 16 years at the Edmonton Area Control Center. During this time, she has noticed the lack of female presence in the industry, which spurred the formation of Elevate.

In addition, Kendra enjoys spending time with her spouse Corey, her 4 children and her grandson. She enjoys traveling, biking and fitness. Kendra is also the founder of another non-profit organization, called Changing Stories, and is involved in a number of local activities including the Welcome Home Program and being a volunteer producer for Shaw TV. 

As the latest Global Woman of Vision recipient, Kendra is inspired to continue her vision of empowering women and changing the statistics in the aviation industry.

What We Do

Elevate Aviation is on a mission to introduce more people to the wonderful careers available in the aviation industry.

Mentorship Program

We connect motivated individuals who are starting their careers in aviation with successful women in the chosen field. We believe that to ensure success, you should have the support and guidance of someone who has been there and understands what you will be going through. Mentoring is a proven approach to drive rich learning and development that will enable you to achieve desired success. 

Our mentor's offer guidance and advice to women who are interested in any career in the aviation industry. The mentor is there to prepare you and support you through every step of the way from application right through until you're gainfully employed in the job of your dreams.
