Christopher Rocheleau, a 20-year FAA employee who had served as chief of staff and is the current acting associate administrator for aviation safety, is joining NBAA in June to succeed Steve Brown as COO. Brown, who also has held leadership roles with the FAA, the National Aeronautic Association, and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, is retiring after serving with NBAA for the past 18 years.

“It would be impossible to overstate Steve’s contributions to NBAA and aviation,” said NBAA president and CEO Bolen. “He represents all the very best our industry and country have to offer. He has had a profound impact on aviation in the United States and around the world.”
