Jeanne Muhlenberg
Jeanne’s professional experience has always put her in the public eye. As an instructor at Flight Safety International, Jeanne taught pilots, flight crews and aircraft owners in the cabin usage and emergency procedures of their individual aircraft. As a kindergarten teacher Jeanne learned that teaching 5 year olds is more challenging than instructing pilots and also very rewarding. Jeanne has also served as an operations manager of an airport, manager of a Senior Center, and small business owner.
Jeanne’s strongest interest is helping others. From being a Red Cross Volunteer in Germany, to working with teen girls in her church. Her husband’s military service, gave her the opportunity to coordinate the 51st Doolittle Raiders Reunion, and escort wives of dignitaries to functions. Her most rewarding accomplishment was helping coordinate the worlds’ largest bazaar in Europe three years in a row. The funds raised were used for building a new school. Jeanne holds a pilot and glider rating.
