Brian Oszakiewski Joins The Staff As Director
The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) has tapped an eight-year veteran of Capitol Hill, Brian Oszakiewski, to be a director of government affairs.
Oszakiewski comes to GAMA from the office of U.S. Representative Dan Lipinski (D-IL), where he most recently served as legislative director. His responsibilities included advising the Congressman on all aviation, rail, highway, water, and freight issues before the U.S. House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. He worked extensively on the Federal Aviation Administration Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and supported the work of Congressman Lipinski on the House General Aviation Caucus. Oszakiewski’s extensive issue portfolio also included appropriations, budget, homeland security, manufacturing, and labor issues. He joined Lipinski’s staff in 2006.
“Brian is exceptionally well-versed in issues important to the general aviation industry, including certification, unleaded avgas, NextGen, and FAA regulatory challenges,” GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce said. “His skill in working with members across the aisle, his expertise on the congressional process, and his keen strategic and political abilities will perfectly round out GAMA’s strong government affairs team.”
A native of Chicagoland, Oszakiewski holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in international relations from Creighton University and a Master of Arts degree from The Johns Hopkins University.
