Current Officers

cHAIR

Stacie Marble

Stacie most recently served as the RHS Vice Chair and, prior to that, as our Treasurer. She earned her PPL in May 1995, but despite her love of aviation, life took her in a different direction. She spent 25 years building a successful career in accounting while raising her family.

In 2022, Stacie returned to aviation—and she’s been making up for lost time ever since! She earned her instrument, commercial, and CFI certificates and is also an Advanced Ground Instructor. Today, she works as a CFI and is currently working on her multi-engine rating. When she’s not teaching, you can usually find her in the sky—she’s always looking for an opportunity to fly!

Stacie loves connecting with other pilots (and 99s) and is passionate about encouraging others to pursue their aviation dreams.

Vice Chair

Danielle Dow

Danielle Dow’s aviation journey began as a passenger on flights with her boyfriend, an agricultural pilot and CFI. Inspired by the flying, meetups, and the vibrant aviation community, she decided to learn to fly and become a pilot herself. Danielle earned her PPL in January 2026 and is currently working on her instrument rating and commercial certificate.  Danielle's flying goals don’t stop there; she’s especially excited about earning a tailwheel endorsement and learning backcountry flying!

Danielle joined the Ninety-Nines in March 2025 after winning the Discover Aviation Scholarship in late 2024. Since then, she’s enjoyed the social activities and being part of an organization committed to advancing women in aviation.

Professionally, Danielle was most recently a data visualization engineer and has decided to transition to a career as a professional pilot.

When she’s not focused on flying airplanes, you can find Danielle skydiving!  She did her first jump less than two years ago and now has over 125 jumps! Why stay in an airplane when you can jump out of it? 

Danielle is excited to serve as Vice Chair and looks forward to connecting with fellow members, sharing stories, and supporting other women pursuing aviation!

SECRETARY

Andrea Perry

After graduating with her B.S. in Cell Biology and Neuroscience from Montana State University, Andrea took her first discovery flight in Bozeman. Upon moving back to Nevada, she made the decision to pursue aviation earnestly. She earned her private pilot's license on March 1st, 2025 and just earned her instrument rating!

When Andrea is not flying, you can find her hiking or crocheting to wind down. 

Treasurer 

Sydney Beard

Sydney earned her Private Pilot Certificate in December 2025 and is finishing her Instrument Rating at Biggest Little Flight School, with plans to advance through her Commercial Pilot Certificate and CFI in the near future. 

Being part of The Ninety-Nines has been invaluable to Sydney’s flight journey. Sydney attributes the mentorship and camaraderie within this chapter as helping her grow as an aviator and make life long friendships. As Treasurer, she is committed to expanding our fundraising efforts, grow our scholarship capabilities, increase member engagement, and foster strong mentorship for incoming pilots.

Outside the cockpit, Sydney enjoys camping, skiing, paddleboarding, and spending time outdoors with her friends, family, and dog (Co-pilot ??) Echo. She looks forward to giving back to the community that has supported her aviation goals and helping empower the next generation of female pilots.
