The press release and picture are available for download at the bottom of the page.
April 6, 2011 - In a focused effort to continue to enhance and grow the aviation maintenance professional, a meeting was held on April 6th between members of the AMTSociety, National Business Aircraft Association (NBAA) Maintenance Committee, and the Professional Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA).With a spirit of camaraderie never before seen in our maintenance industry, all parties agreed to move forward in a positive and proactive manner in order to show a united front to our members and colleagues and take command of our industry.
Brad Townsend, current Chairman of the NBAA Maintenance Committee, stated:
“We have been talking about
opportunities for awhile. We acted on it during the NBAA Maintenance
Managers Conference this year just held in San Diego. Coincidentally
this year’s theme was “Building a Community of Leaders”. Choosing to
act on that spirit, we made a simple but elegant commitment to build a
community of partnership benefiting individual brother and sister
aviation maintenance professionals around the globe as well as those we
have pledged to serve.”
The organizations have agreed to align efforts on common interests for the betterment of aviation technicians throughout the industry.
Tom Hendershot, Executive Director of AMTSociety, stated:
“At the Maintenance Management
Conference we agreed to collaborate on issues related to aviation
maintenance including regulatory concerns, National AMT Day and the
education of technicians. This initiative puts together, for the first
time, a prominent force dedicated to promoting the aircraft technician
and professionalism within the ranks. As we move forward together
with these initiatives, each organization will maintain their own
autonomy and mission while partnering on issues of mutual interest.”
Clark Gordon, PAMA Chairman stated:
“It is incumbent as industry leaders
for us to work as one to further the acknowledgement of the aviation
maintenance professional.”
Dale Forton, PAMA President stated:
“As our economy continues to grow the
demand for well trained maintenance professionals will be in the
forefront of each organization. Working together will ensure the proper
recognition and economic growth of our individual members.”
All three groups plan to hold regular meetings together to build on this momentum and work through selected common causes that will unite the global aviation maintenance community.
