Last month marked the first anniversary of the International Stability Operations Association (ISOA) Women, Peace, and Security Certification Program, established by Michelle Quinn. Yesterday, Constellis Chief Growth Officer, Darryle Conway, Chief Human Resources Officer, Beth Skoletsky, and Vice President of Business Development, Aimee Vineyard, accepted the ISOA Women, Peace and Security Global Impact Award for the company’s efforts in promoting women’s meaningful participation in peace and security. Constellis ensures women are empowered to lead and contribute, equipped with the necessary skills and support to succeed, and have access to opportunities and resources.

Constellis supports the United Nations Aviation Security program in countries including Mogadishu, Somalia, where our team provides aviation security screening, training and mentoring services and contributes to capacity building in Somalia by training and mentoring Somalia government authorities in relevant aviation security subjects under the UN mandate. Within the past year, two of our female supervisors on the contract, Ms. Masouma and Ms. Shayo, received their AVSEC Aviation Professional Manager (AVSEC PM) certifications by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), joining the elite group of 1045 aviation security professionals worldwide. Ms. Masouma, who received her certification in August 2020, was also the first Afghani woman to achieve this certification.
