Prior to marriage to Mr. Minnick, Ms. Chorzewska worked as Assistant General Inspector of Civil Aviation for Poland for
over ten years. The General Inspector of Civil Aviation reported directly to the Minister of
Transport and Maritime Economy. The Office of the General Inspectorate of Civil Aviation
(GILC) was responsible for the regulation, administration, and safety of civil aviation for the
Republic of Poland and consisted of 150 personnel. The GILC is now known as the Civil Aviation Office of Poland.
Ms. Chorzewska has had the opportunity from 1991 through 1996 to work closely with
several American teams of aviation professionals in preparing a Civil Aviation Master Plan
and Investment Program for Poland, a Financial Feasibility Study for the Polish Airports
State Enterprise, and numerous other policy and management documents resulting from
the work of a Technical Advisory Team. She was highly praised and commended by these
groups for her technical knowledge, ability to communicate, and assistance in gathering
data. She worked in the U.S. on two separate occasions, making a major contribution to
the final preparation of the documents.
With LOT Polish Airlines, which is one of the world's oldest established airlines, Ms.
Chorzewska served as a stewardess for a short period of time before becoming the Deputy
Manager of the Stewardess Department. As Deputy Manager reporting directly to the
Director of Flight Personnel, Ms. Chorzewska was basically in charge of all stewardesses
and responsible for ensuring their qualification, arranging training, scheduling, and
promotion. In this capacity, Ms. Chorzewska gained a reputation for decisiveness and tact.
She demonstrated the ability to clearly define problems, determine the best solution, and
execute corrective action.
Ms. Chorzewska was a licensed steward with Polish Ocean Lines (PLO) and Polish
Steamship Company (PZM) which operated in the Baltic Sea transporting people and
cargo between ports in Poland and Scandinavia.
