Today on the AVIATE podcast, we are thrilled to welcome Kelly Jost, a civil engineer and principal at C&S Companies, who shares her journey and insights in the aviation industry. Kelly's passion for engineering began in her childhood in Michigan, inspired by her father's construction projects. Her fascination with aviation was sparked by a fifth-grade project on Amelia Earhart, and her commitment deepened after her first solo flight in eighth grade.

As a leader in airport planning, design, and construction, Kelly underscores the importance of standardization in airport design and highlights the need for stronger leadership, support, and flexibility to foster cultural change in the aviation industry. She emphasizes the importance of addressing sexual harassment and creating inclusive, supportive environments to attract and retain women in aviation.

In addition to her role as a board member for the Michigan Association of Airport Executives (MAAE) and the Women in Aviation Advisory Board, Kelly discusses the Women in Aviation Advisory Board report and shares her vision for implementing its recommendations. She hopes for a future where women in aviation are the norm and sees more women in leadership positions across the industry.

Join us as we dive into Kelly’s inspiring journey, her advocacy for women in aviation, and her vision for the future of the industry.
