Chris grew up in an Air Force family, daughter of an A&P mechanic. She attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and earned a Bachelor of Science in Aviation Management. Upon graduation, she served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Micronesia, working with small business owners in developing inventory and accounting systems. Upon returning home, she earned an MBA and then joined O'Gara Aviation Company in 1990. Her responsibilities include marketing, contracts administration, and computer systems management. Chris currently serves on the board of the Georgia Business Aviation Association (GBAA), and is actively involved with the organization's Scholarship Committee. In 2009, she was instrumental in implementing the GBAA's mentoring program, matching scholarship students with GBAA members working in professions that sync with the students' chosen academic disciplines and career aspirations. The program’s primary goal is to foster the development of lasting professional relationships between this and the next generation of leaders, sharing ideas, life experiences, career strategies and emerging technologies. Chris also serves on the NBAA2010 local planning committee, and is actively involved in coordinating the organization’s Careers In Business Aviation Day, designed to expand career opportunity awareness to high school and college students interested in a career in aviation. She is also actively involved with the NBAA’s Boys & Girls Club community service project planned for the Sunday prior to show week in October.
