The overarching themes of #AccelerateAction and “Moving Forward Together – Women Educating and Inspiring Generations” highlight the incredible contributions of women dedicated to leadership, education and mentorship – principles that are at the heart of our values here at Sunwing Airlines – as well as the work to be done to continue this progress,” says First Officer Jessalyn Teed. “It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside these women, learn from them, and honour them and the role they play on a daily basis. We celebrate the incredible women who soar above and beyond with professionalism and passion, as their strength, dedication and leadership inspire us all to reach new heights.”
