PHCC's Ms. Khan was traveling to PHCC's annual convention scheduled for Sept. 12-16 in Reno, Nev. The plane, after taking off at 8:10 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, from Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C., crashed into the Pentagon after hijackers redirected the Los Angeles-bound flight back to Washington.
Khan was PHCC's manager of member services. She also coordinated the association's database operations and was the staff liaison for the Union-Affiliated Contractors. She had been a PHCC employee since November 2000. The 45-year-old Khan was a resident of Reston, VA, with her 13-year-old son Imran.
"Norma was a very professional, friendly person, who served the association with great dignity and grace," said PHCC Executive Vice President D.L. "Ike" Casey. "She will be missed by us all."
