Will Concentrate Exclusively On Aircraft
PAMA, the Professional
Aviation Maintenance Association, has announced it is ending its
affiliation with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and will
focus exclusively on programs and support for aviation maintenance
managers, aviation mechanics and the aviation maintenance industry.
PAMA plans to hire an association management firm to handle
day-to-day operations and its recent initiatives to enhance member
services, increase corporate and individual membership, and expand
its technical leadership. PAMA will continue to provide a lobbying
presence in Washington, DC, to ensure that aviation maintenance
issues are properly represented in government circles.
"While our affiliation with SAE was well founded at the time,
it's clear that recent developments in the automotive industry
created a challenge for SAE to continue providing the support we
needed to achieve PAMA's goals," said Clark Gordon, chairman of
PAMA's board of directors. "Integrating PAMA further with SAE would
have diminished the focus on our programs and partnerships,
especially our professional development track for aviation
maintenance managers," he added.
"The PAMA board is conducting a search for a new association
management firm and we'll announce our selection within the next
few weeks," said John Casker, PAMA's president. "PAMA is
well-funded and we're prepared to continue in our role as the voice
of aviation maintenance," Casker concluded.
