Industry Leaders Voice ARSA’s Value
May 18, 2020
In support of its ongoing membership recruitment and retention efforts, ARSA has released a new video featuring leading association members discussing the aspects of the association they consider most valuable.
The brief (90 second) video was produced by Hothouse Media using footage and interviews with industry leaders filmed during the 2020 ARSA Annual Conference. The video provides perspectives on all aspects of ARSA’s activities, including regulatory advocacy and compliance, congressional lobbying, training and industry workforce development support.
Featured in the video are:
- David Latimer, senior vice president of regulatory compliance at HAECO Americas
- Randall Darling, Jr., quality manager at Component Repair Technologies, Inc.
- Manny Palomo, compliance director at Continental Aircraft Support, Inc.
- Scott Gellerman, director of quality control at Lynden Air Cargo, LLC
- Scott Jacob, director of quality control at Columbia Helicopters, Inc.
- Brian Tyminski, CEO of Compressed Gas Systems
- George Jimenz, director of quality control at HEICO Aerospace Corporation
