As a business owner you understand the need to communicate effectively. Ms. Schuessler exhibited calm and effectively communicated to the air traffic control towers to keep other possible disasters from occurring on that fateful day. 

  After September 11^th she represented the FAA as a spokesperson for all operational security issues in the National Airspace System at the White House, Congress, Department of Transportation, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, US Secret Service and the Central Intelligence Agency.
