With the passage of time comes a change in leadership on the MMA Board of Directors . After six years of leading the MMA Board through various challenges and opportunities , Bill Henderson , President of Aircraft Precision Products Inc ., completed his service and turned the gavel over to Jeff Daniel , Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of PVS Chemicals Inc . It has been my pleasure to work with both Bill and Jeff over the last year and a half of my tenure here , and I am thankful for their dedication to the MMA and our industry .
Our continued success is directly linked to the quality of leadership we can draw upon to serve as a member of the MMA Board . Representing the diverse size of various members as well as the broad spectrum of our industry , the MMA Board sets the direction for our team and provides invaluable insight to our membership . Bill was a willing and capable leader who will be missed in the chair .
That said , Jeff is certain to provide continued leadership for our organization as we exit the pandemic and confront workforce needs , supply chain disruptions and the ever-present effort to secure a tax and regulatory structure in Michigan that permits manufacturing to thrive . And we have the added value of Bill ’ s continuation on the Board as the Immediate Past Chair .
With thanks to both Bill and Jeff for their service , we also share our gratitude for all members of our Board of Directors . 6
