Ariel Walker Joins NAHF Team to Build Membership

We’re thrilled to announce that Ariel Walker has joined us to re-envision NAHF’s membership program.

She will craft a compelling vision for growth, design engaging member experiences, and build strategies that inspire a broad and diverse aviation community to join and support our mission.

Ariel comes to us with 20 years of experience in public service and nonprofit development, most recently as the director of strategy and development for the Dayton Art Institute and before that, in various roles for the city of Dayton.

She is a graduate of the University of Dayton, with a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s in public administration. She also has been honored with a 40 Under 40 Award by the Dayton Business Journal and is a graduate of Leadership Dayton.

“We’re so excited to have Ariel on board,” says NAHF President Aimee Maruyama. “Cultivating and retaining members—making them feel seen, valued, and connected to our mission—is a major priority for us, and I know that Ariel has the talent and creativity to help us do that.”
