Business Aviation Advocate Will Keynote Opening General
Session
The NBAA will welcome Thomas J.
Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a
keynote speaker during the Opening General Session of its 63rd
Annual Meeting & Convention (NBAA2010).
Donohue's participation in NBAA's Convention highlights the
long-standing importance of the event in bringing together leaders
from business and government to articulate the value of business
aviation to citizens, companies and communities across the
U.S. Donohue will be a keynote speaker on Tuesday, October
19, at the Convention's Opening General Session. The event runs
through October 21 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta,
GA. NBAA will showcase the excitement surrounding the Convention's
kickoff by holding the Opening General Session right on the show's
exhibit floor, which proved to be very popular at the 2009
convention.
"We are honored to have Tom Donohue join us at this year's
Convention," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "He is a
respected and effective advocate for companies across the U.S."
In remarks before an Annual
Aviation Summit hosted by the Chamber and held in Washington, DC
earlier this year, Donohue (pictured, right) spoke about the
value of all general aviation, including business aviation, as part
of the fabric of the nation's economy and a critical transportation
link to communities with little or no airline service.
Prior to being selected as president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce in 1997, Donohue served for 13 years as president and
CEO of the American Trucking Association, the national organization
of the trucking industry. He also serves on the boards of directors
of the Union Pacific Corporation and the Sunrise Senior Living
Corporation. In addition, Donohue serves as president of the Center
for International Private Enterprise, a program of the National
Endowment for Democracy, which is dedicated to development of
market-oriented institutions around the world.
