"A Solid Addition To An Already-Strong Team"
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) this week
welcomed Andrew Broom as the Association’s new Vice President
of Communications. He was most recently the director of
communications and public affairs for Wichita, KS-based Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation.
"Andrew is a solid addition to an already-strong communications
team at AOPA," said Karen Gebhart, executive vice president of
communications for the Association. "His broad background in
general aviation and his demonstrated commitment to strategic
communications will unequivocally help our association."
Broom will be responsible for
helping to develop AOPA's communications strategies, and to oversee
their day-to-day implementation.
During his tenure at Hawker Beechcraft, Broom created and
administered a global public relations, government affairs and
internal communications strategic plan that included three
new-product launches and generated a significant increase in
positive news coverage for the company.
Prior to joining Hawker Beechcraft, Broom was with very light
jet pioneer Eclipse Aviation, where, as director of public
relations, he helped build industry and public awareness not only
of the company, but of a completely new class of aircraft.
Broom has also worked in Washington, DC for the General Aviation
Manufacturers Association, and at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University as director of the school’s Career Services.
Broom is an instrument-rated flight instructor and commercial
pilot, and is rated for both land- and seaplanes.
