In her current role, she oversees American’s Cargo Sales team in South America, Mexico, Caribbean, Central America and the Southeast region of the United States, covering a total of 54 cities in 33 countries. International Women’s Day was established more than a century ago to direct attention to the right of women to be fully engaged in the political and economic processes that shape their lives. The United Nations (UN) began sponsoring the annual commemoration in 1975 to highlight women’s issues globally, and focus on women’s achievements. In 2004, the World Trade Center Miami began supporting the event to recognize women who have inspired others to make major achievements in international business. More than 400 international executives and media attend the event each year. Quelle: American Airlines |
