Following an extensive search process, the Aircraft Electronics Association's board of directors announced its selection of Mike Adamson as its president and chief executive officer to become effective March 25, 2019, during the 62nd annual AEA International Convention & Trade Show in Palm Springs, California. Adamson will succeed Paula Derks, who is retiring next spring after serving as AEA president and CEO since 1996.
At NBAA last Month, Aero-News Editor in Chief Jim Campbell sat down with Derks and Adams to discuss the transition between the two executive, and the future of the association.
Adamson has served as AEA vice president of member programs and education since 2007 and has been responsible for the AEA's training and education initiatives delivered to technicians and small-business owners in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Pacific and Latin America. He helped design, fund and equip the AEA's world-class training facility - the Dan Derby Center for Professional Development - that has trained more than 1,500 technicians during the last 10 years.
