AsBAA in Action- Easter Special newsletter | Seite 2

It has now been six months since the Vice Chairmen and I were elected into position as
the AsBAA Board of Directors for a two-year period. In this relatively short period of time, I am
proud to report back to our members that the association has been exponentially active under our
three work pillars of Advocacy, Representation and Community. These pillars represent more than
simply slogans; they are the cornerstone of the work that AsBAA is driving to ensure that the
business and general aviation industry in Asia grows, develops and thrives. Making this a reality has
been an effort strengthening our Regional Chapters; moving away from a centralised model to a
localised one that can meet the needs of our members in the diverse group of countries that we
operate in.
Last month, we identified the Board of Governors so that our members know whom they can
contact in each location. We have also formed a stronger, deeper China Committee that has been
active in the last month in the areas of: Women in Aviation, Education and Careers, Government
Lobbying and building up the B2B network. This is timely in the run up to ABACE, which AsBAA
will co-host with our fellow IBAC association, NBAA for the fourth consecutive year. AsBAA’ s
primary role in the show is to help leverage our local network of experts to build up the Education
Programme which is made up of a series of industry topics on days one and two and the student and careers day on day three of the
show. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of the AsBAA members that will share their expertise and insight as part of the
ABACE Education Programme. We are very much looking forward to engaging with our members, stakeholders, students and the media
at ABACE. You will find us at booth H1402 which is located next to the Opening Session Area. I am honoured to be included in the VIP
elements of the show which includes a walk-around of the static and VIP dinner on Monday 16th April and the Opening Sessions on 17th
April. I have also made appointments to visit a number of our members at the show and I very much look forward to this too.
On behalf of the team of volunteers at AsBAA, I take this opportunity to wish all our members and the wider business and general aviation
community a very successful ABACE2018. See you in Shanghai and at the AsBAA Booth H1402!
