Amelia Rose Earhart to Speak at 2026 Ag Aviation Expo Kickoff Breakfast

NAAA is pleased to announce Amelia Rose Earhart as the Ag Aviation Expo Kickoff Breakfast speaker on Monday, Nov. 16, in Savannah, GA. Professional speaker, pilot, author and artist Amelia Rose Earhart was faced with the question, if you were given the name Amelia Earhart, would you learn to fly? She chose to go all in, completing her private, instrument and commercial flight training with the goal of someday flying all the way around the world, just like the incredible American hero she was named after, Amelia Mary Earhart.

In 2014, she completed her goal of circumnavigating the globe along a 28,000 nautical mile route – all in a single-engine aircraft.

This modern-day Amelia Earhart says the most important lesson she learned during her journey is that to truly succeed and grow along the way, we need to learn to love life’s turbulence by staying agile amid the storms that inevitably pop up along each of our paths.

Amelia has fifteen years of experience as a helicopter and breaking news reporter in Denver and Los Angeles, has sent numerous teenage girls to flight school during her ten-year stretch as president of the Fly With Amelia Foundation, hosts a tech podcast focused on the future of AI in business, and is now turning her aerial photos into original paintings.

In her recently published book, Learn to Love the Turbulence: “Flight Lessons” on becoming the pilot in command of your own journey, Amelia shares ways to think like a pilot to move through life with agility and confidence.
