5:00-6:30 p.m. | Fireside chat with Michael Huerta

(Come for both, or just the fireside chat.)

Delta Flight Training Center - 4829 W. Amelia Earhart Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84116

Michael Huerta, a Delta Air Lines board member and former administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, sits down with Ivy Estabrooke, who came to board service by way of the Navy, Gov. Gary Herbert's cabinet, and industry. Huerta's Utah connection goes back to the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, where he led transportation planning for the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. They’ll discuss safety culture, what a board owes its regulators, how nonprofit and corporate service compare, and how a crisis looks from the boardroom.

Beforehand, small groups of up to ten step inside the flight deck of a fullscale Airbus A320 or A350 simulator with a Delta pilot. It is the first flight training center Delta has built outside Atlanta.
