AFRA Leadership
AFRA’s Leadership is committed to making a positive impact on the environment, the economy, and the society through their work with the association. They are passionate about creating a circular economy for aviation, where aircraft materials and components are reused, recycled, or recovered, rather than disposed of in landfills. They are also dedicated to ensuring the safety, quality, and efficiency of the aircraft recycling process, as well as to fostering innovation and collaboration within the industry.
AFRA Board of Directors
The AFRA Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the management of the Association as well as developing the long-term financial and strategic plans. Directors must come from a Regular Member company in good standing of the Association. There are in person meetings at least 2 times a year with regular conference calls in between. The Board of Directors is a volunteer board that devote a substantial amount of their personal time to ensure the success of the Association.
