Nov. 16, 2010, Yellowknife, N.W.T. - On Monday, November 8, 2010, Tracy
Medve, Canadian North's President of three years, was inducted as an
Honourary Life Member with the Air Transport Association of Canada
(ATAC). Medve is the first woman to ever receive this prestigious
honour.
Honourary Life Memberships have been awarded since 1976 to those who have contributed significantly to the improvement of the Association and the Canadian air transport industry. Individuals are nominated by members of ATAC and are then presented to the Board for a vote on their contribution to the industry.
Recipients have included high-profile Canadian aviation giants such as Max Ward (President of former Wardair), and Rhys Eyton (Chairman & CEO of former Canadian Airlines).
"We are honoured and proud to have Tracy as an Honourary Life Member," affirms ATAC's President, John McKenna. "This award is warranted due to her hard work and commitment to the aviation industry as well as to this association."
Since 1985, Tracy has held various senior airline management positions at Norcanair, Time Air, Canadian Partner and Canadian Regional Airlines. Prior to joining Canadian North, Tracy was the co-founder of C.T. AeroProjects, a Calgary based consultancy focused on air transport resource management. Tracy is not only a member of the Air Transport Association of Canada Board, but also of the Northern Air Transport Association Board and the University of British Columbia, Okanagan External Advisory Board. She is also a past member of the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada.
"I'm very pleased to receive this honor," states Ms. Medve. "The aviation industry is a passion of mine, so being inducted as an Honourary Life Member of an important aviation industry association like ATAC holds special importance for me."
