 Next Gen Division Chair |
Jeff Aznavorian Operations Manager Clips & Clamps Industries |
"It is an honor to be serving this Division as its elected Chair. We have many opportunities for growth and increasing knowledge through participation in this great association (PMA) and especially in the our Next Generation Leaders Division. Stay involved, attend events, join a committee. Not only will we be continuing our efforts to grow leadership skills and knowledge for the future leaders of our industry, we also have an unprecedented opportunity to shape the current direction of PMA itself. The Next Gens will be working hand in hand with the PMA board of directors to strengthen our association for the years ahead. My thanks go to Robb McCoy for his great leadership as this Division's very first Chair. We would not be here without him. "

PMA’s Next Gen Division has three committees made up of PMA member volunteers. Service on Next Gen committees requires time throughout the year for conference calls and e-mail exchanges. Face-to-face meetings may occur if necessary, but most committee business is conducted via e-mail and teleconference. The term of service for a committee member is two years. Division officers and committees work together with PMA staff to plan and implement division meetings and activities.
