Tim Brown developed a passion for aviation during his teenage years. Growing up near Charlotte, he began working on the ground crew, cleaning corporate jets. Over time, he learned to fly and now serves as a 737 pilot for American Airlines.
To inspire young people to consider careers in aviation, Brown serves as the director of the Aerospace Career Education (ACE) Academy in Charlotte, operated by the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals. The academy offers affordable camps, courses, and field trips, which are highly popular and often sell out.
On December 11, Brown will speak at 3BL Network Effect: Charlotte at the Truist Center, where he’ll share his journey and discuss how the ACE Academy has become a talent pipeline for local companies. The academy prepares students for roles such as air traffic controllers, jet mechanics, Air Force personnel, and commercial pilots.
The event will also explore key trends in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting and the business case for corporate initiatives that promote diversity, STEM education, and disaster relief efforts. This half-day program, the eighth in 3BL’s regional series, is designed for professionals in corporate social responsibility, sustainability, social impact, communications, marketing, ESG, and investor relations. Breakfast will be included.
