PAMA’s first Northeast Regional Airworthiness Symposium held on September 30 and October 1, 2010 was a resounding success!

Top-notch speakers addressed industry issues, networking opportunities connected aviation technicians, and PAMA recognized industry leadership and support with the presentation of the 2009 PAMA Awards.

Clark Gordon, Chairman of the PAMA Board of Directors, stated: “With the launch of the “new PAMA” in 2009 at the Regional Airworthiness Symposium in Dallas to the great success of our 2010 Regional Airworthiness Symposium in the Northeast, PAMA continues to expand the Symposium because of the support of the aviation maintenance community, our regional chapters, and our industry vendors.”

The Symposium kicked off on September 30th with a golf outing at the prestigious Lake of Isles Golf Course where eight foursomes played 18 holes of golf.

Following the golf outing, the evening reception brought together AMTs and industry partners in the Premier Ballroom of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Resort. The 2009 PAMA Awards were presented by Chairman Clark Gordon to the First State Chapter for Chapter of the Year, Michael Broderick for FlightSafety’s Joe Chase Award, and Fabio Natal for the Award of Excellence.
