The Professional Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) will hold its first Regional Airworthiness Symposium August 22-23, 2008, in Wichita, KA. The event will offer education tracks for aviation maintenance technicians and management personnel, and presentations and panel discussions on important issues facing the aviation maintenance industry. Topics expected to be discussed include: accident investigation and dealing with the Federal Aviation Administration, liability and safety issues including human fatigue management and other human factors, and dealing with the shortage of technicians, including retirement and retention. While the Wichita event is the first regional symposium offered by PAMA, it will not be the last. Clark Gordon, Chairman, PAMA Board of Directors, said a series of events are planned that are designed to best meet the needs of busy technicians and management personnel.
