CHC Helicopter and Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Company, announced two winners have been selected to receive funding to attend the 2017 CHC Safety & Quality Summit.
The winning students were selected for the Peter Gardiner Grant and the
Sikorsky Safety Scholarship, and will join delegates and professionals from
around the world as they gather near Dallas, Texas, this September to learn
about how to advance safety in the aviation industry.
Students studying for careers in aviation were invited to submit
applications with a 500-word essay related to the summit theme for this year:
“Can we truly manage all the risk? What if the barriers aren’t as robust as
they seem?”
The Peter Gardiner Grant is named for Dr. Peter Gardiner of the
Southern California Safety Institute, who played an instrumental role in
shaping the CHC Safety & Quality Summit through his contributions as both a
speaker and session leader in its early years. The grant is co-sponsored by
both CHC and Dr. Scott Shappell of HFACS, Inc.
The winner for this years’ Peter Gardiner Grant is Matt Lum, a current
student at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (in the Airport
Operations program).
