On March 19, WINGS (Women Inspiring Nex-Gen Stars) at JFK celebrated the official launch of its new foundation and mentorship program at a brunch at The Rockaway Hotel, nestled in Rockaway Beach, NY.
WINGS at JFK is a non-profit, mission-driven organization focused on empowering women to inspire the next generation of stars through leadership, mentorship, and visibility. Founded on the belief that representation and mentorship drive lasting impact, WINGS at JFK brings together accomplished women across industries to support, guide, and elevate emerging leaders. The organization will deliver curated programming, community-building initiatives, and strategic partnerships designed to foster growth, opportunity, and inspiration.

At the program’s inaugural gathering, Elizabeth Schuette, President & CEO, The ARK Import Export Center, and her co-founding members of WINGS introduced their vision to over 200 guests. Designed to foster engagement and shared growth, the event provided a space for meaningful conversation and networking at the start of this new collaborative initiative.
As John F. Kennedy International Airport enters a new era, the WINGS vision is to build a powerful, inclusive, and enduring community of women in aviation at JFK that breaks barriers, champions one another, and inspires the next generation to dream bigger, fly higher, and lead boldly – both in the skies and on the ground.
