SUPPORT ADAM TOWNSEND FINANCE | BOOKKEEPING PAM CAMERON I love learning. I am somewhat of an “information junkie”, as my wife would tell you. That said, I could not be in a better line of work than publishing Northwest Aerospace News. Learning about the depth of resources utilized in all aspects of this industry is an eye-opener. In this issue we see some of the “heavy lifting” needed to build aircraft — the “dirt under the fingernails” as well as the sterile environment we often associate with the aerospace industry. It is a reminder that it takes the collaborative efforts of many unique resourc- es to accomplish a complex goal. This mindset is a lesson we can apply to the business of business as well. I am very excited to announce that Northwest Aerospace News Magazine is taking part in a collaborative effort to network with numerous Pacific North- west aerospace agencies and aerospace cluster organizations, to align our efforts and support each other in a broad outreach of unity and mutual coop- eration. This unification will allow us to speak in a clear voice to the aero- space industry, signaling that the Pacific Northwest aerospace manufacturing community is ready and able to support the fantastic growth, as well as the challenges, that the industry has in store. These are exciting times. We are grateful and honored to share them with you.
