Jane Garvey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jane Garvey (Jane Famiano) was Head of the Federal Aviation Administration from 1997 to 2002 and was succeeded by Marion Blakey.
Garvey earned her B.A. from Mount Saint Mary's College[disambiguation needed] and her M.A. from Mount Holyoke College and has been awarded several honorary degrees.
She was appointed by President Bill Clinton and holds several "firsts" for an FAA Administrator: she was the first Administrator appointed to a 5-year term, the first female Administrator, and the first Administrator who was not a licensed pilot. She had previously worked as a teacher, highway safety administrator, and the director of Logan International Airport.
She currently serves as the chairwoman of the Capital-to-Capital Coalition, which works to promote non-stop service between Beijing and Washington Dulles International Airport.
