It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Choose Aerospace board member and dear friend, Dr. Tammera Holmes.
Tammera was a visionary leader in the aviation community and a tireless advocate for the industry. When Choose Aerospace was in its infancy, Tammera eagerly joined our board of directors. Her insights on community-based programs, teacher support, and outreach to underserved communities were an incredible resource for our young operation. Tammera's life was marked by her passion, resilience, and commitment to creating opportunities for others. Even during diagnosis and treatment against a rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer, she demonstrated the same bravery and determination that characterized her remarkable journey. Her tireless efforts to illuminate the path for countless future pilots and aviation professionals transformed lives and strengthened the aviation industry. As we mourn this profound loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary legacy she leaves behind. And we will forever be grateful that we knew her, learned from her, and served alongside her. Those who wish to honor Tammera are invited to donate to AeroStar Avion Institute, the Chicago-based nonprofit she founded to provide aviation career opportunities to underrepresented youth. A fund has also been establish to support her family.
