Wichita, Kansas, will be the site of the Professional Aviation Maintenance Association’s (PAMA) first Regional Airworthiness Symposium, August 22 and 23, 2008. These new symposiums will provide PAMA members and other industry professionals with training and networking opportunities provided in convenient formats and locations. The events will feature education tracks for management and maintenance technicians, along with tradeshows that show the latest technology by leading suppliers and manufacturers.
 The new regional symposium format was adopted at the recommendation of PAMA’s Industry Advisory Board (IAB), a special committee appointed by PAMA’s Board of Directors. The IAB comprises representatives from OEMs, vendors, industry publication, directors of maintenance, and education professionals. The IAB will organize the management education tracks for the symposiums and PAMA’s Technical Committee will select topics for the mechanics’ track. Details on the regional symposiums will be posted on PAMA’s Web site – www.pama.org
