Extensive travel on a personal quest for meaning engendered in Nancy a deep desire to serve humanity and a new vision for the travel industry. She lived with the Hopi Indians, adopted a girl in Sri Lanka, spent a month in the high Andes, and searched for spiritual teachers in Thailand, Africa, India, the Philippines and the former USSR before founding Airline Ambassadors International (AAI). AAI has been recognized by the US Congress and is affiliated with the United Nations. Members have hand delivered millions of dollars of humanitarian aid to over 100,000 children in orphanages, clinics and remote communities in 54 countries. Among her many awards are: 1999 Woman of Peace, the Ambassador of Peace Award, the Islamic Cultural Center’s Humanitarian Award and National Caring Award. Nancy brings joy wherever she goes and through her magnetic personality, dedication and skills has attracted single-handedly the support necessary for this innovative global endeavor of compassionate activism.
