We appreciate Marty’s ongoing leadership at the helm of NATA.”

The Board was pleased to accept Marty’s recommendation, Bill and Tim work very hard to promote the interests of aviation businesses and have made Marty’s transition to NATA President a smooth one.”

Hiller added, “I am honored to serve as President of NATA.
