Women in Corporate Aviation (WCA) is installing a new leadership team after the retirement of founding member and long-time executive director Elizabeth Clark. She will continue as director emeritus after leading the organization for more than 31 years.
Tracie Carwile, a longtime Universal Weather and Aviation executive who is now v-p of global sales and inclusion for GlobalGround Transport, is stepping into the role of CEO and executive director for WCA. Carwile has nearly 20 years of business aviation experience and was a 2020 recipient of NBAA’s 40 Under 40 honor. She has previously been a board member of WCA.
In addition, Cassandra Shelby was named CFO and director of the organization. An international captain on the Gulfstream G550 and G280 for The Coca-Cola Company, Shelby has held various roles with WCA, including president and director.
WCA announced the leadership team as it held its 31st Annual Meeting and Scholarship Award Ceremony during NBAA-BACE last week in Las Vegas.
