It’s been almost 10 years of participation and I’ve gotten to know quite a few of the members. I really enjoy engaging with this community and it really helps that we have in common many of the same concerns and ideas with respect to aviation maintenance training. I also enjoy attending the various sessions that are scheduled at the conference as it gives me an opportunity to listen to other issues or viewpoints that I can’t get anywhere else.”
