NBAA has named two new regional representatives as the association expands the program to seven regions. Paige Kroner was appointed to represent the Mid-Atlantic region, a newly added territory for the association. Brittany Davies, meanwhile, becomes the Northeast regional representative, taking over for<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2017-12-19/nbaas-saucier-retire"> Dean Saucier, </a>who retired at the end of the year after 17 years with the association.

 


“Our members often tell us they greatly value the presence of an NBAA regional advocate when decisions, regulations, airport concerns, and other issues need to be addressed at local, state, and regional levels,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “With the addition of the Mid-Atlantic region, NBAA’s regional representation program will allow for an even more robust level of business aviation advocacy for our members.”

 


Kroner will represent an area that includes Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C. “Paige is highly qualified, given her decades-long experience in working with people throughout the region,” said Steve Hadley, NBAA regional programs senior director and Southwest regional representative.

 


She joined NBAA in 2014 after serving as manager of industry and government affairs and then as FBO deputy manager for Signature Flight Support. A recognized expert on TSA’s DCA Access Standard Security Program, Kroner has been active on a number of industry boards and committees and has been selected for the Women in Corporate Aviation’s Leadership Scholarship and NBAA’s Silk Scarf Award.

 


Davies will represent NBAA for members based in a newly reconfigured Northeast region, which encompasses Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey.

 


She has a background in business aviation that includes charter scheduling and sales, hangar development, aerial photography, and advocacy. Most recently president of Wind Shift Consulting, which focused on strategic marketing and development within the business aviation industry, she was the first executive director of the Westchester Aviation Association in White Plains, N.Y. She also was vice chair of NBAA’s Local and Regional Groups Committee and a founding member of the Colorado Aviation Business Association.
