"Chris comes to NBAA with extensive experience in membership
marketing and support, which will be of great benefit to our
Association and NBAA's Member Companies," said Bolen. "He is a
welcome addition to NBAA's leadership team and a valued asset as we
continually work to strengthen the support we provide for the
business aviation community."
Prior to his service at SGMA, Strong served in various
leadership roles as vice president of member programs at the
National Association of Manufacturers.
"I look forward to this exciting opportunity to work with a
growing association that is dedicated to the success of its
Members," said Strong.
