I want to challenge all of us in the aviation community to this 30-day commitment (and I'm doing it, too). I am seeing SO many of us have lofty goals and then get disappointed when time passes and we haven't made progress, and eventually weeks turn into months which turn into years. Sometimes I think the smallest but accomplishable effort can be the catalyst to move us in the right direction towards our goals, and so I wanted to apply that to aviation and encourage us to set an attainable goal in the next 30 days and make it public.

What will yours be?
