In this Month's Bulletin:
Election for 6 Positions
on the ASA Board of Directors
ASA's election process is detailed in the ASA Bylaws. The bylaws call for the members
to elect the Directors from the persons nominated. This year, there are 11 nominated
persons for 6 seats. Three incumbent Directors are seeking re-election and
three Directors are not. Seeking reelection are: Nicole Wright, AJW Aviation;
Adam Chiamulon, Global Airtech; and Jimmy Wu, Infinity Air. We thank Sheri
Murray for her 6 years of service; and Greg Norris and Kevin St. Denis for
their two years of service. ASA is pleased to have a strong Board and the
Directors and the Board continues to work to make sure it represents the
members and industry.

Legal News:
ASA's Petition to FAA to Extend the Limited DAR-F
Program for Accredited Distributors Succeeds!
This
memorandum provides a means where existing Limited DAR-F designees can continue
exercising their delegation authorization through September 30, 2018. This
extension will allow an existing Limited DAR-F to continue issuing an
Authorized Release Certificate, FAA Form 8130-3, Airworthiness Approval Tag,
through September 30, 2018, for new articles that were in the distributor's
inventory prior to November 1, 2016. ASA will be meeting with the FAA
about a long-term solution and other issues distributors face from the MAG 6. Additionally, several
members are aggressively working with their Congressional reps and the FAA is
back at the table talking about solutions. We will keep you abreast of new
developments as they occur. Please use this link to review a copy of FAA's Memorandum No:
AIR-600-17-6F0-PM01. Jason Dickstein has an ASA Blog detailing the new Memo and the timline to file for extension Read More…
SPAM Emails:
A group
email from ASA will not include an attachment.
Also, look at emails to make sure they are from ASA and not an ASA
employee or a Director's name with an email from a random email. The reply to
email should always be from aviationsuppliers.org. ASA keeps a list of members
and contact names on the website for marketing and information reasons. This
leads to spam emails. We are evaluating
the website information and looking at other options.
