Guest straitman Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 A sad loss for the Aviation Industry. President Rosemarie McRae recently announced the Helicopter Association of Australasia had collapsed on 19th November 2008 due to lack of volunteers to replace retiring board members at AGM held 4 October AGM, which was poorly attended. One recent notice indicated they had run out of funds and were asking members to support the executive financially so that the HAA could continue. Unfortunately, the support requested was not forthcoming. Some observers indicate the association decided to have a paid executive from around 2006, using funds from the settlement from the Sydney CBD compensation deal with the NSW government. Previously the HAA was run by volunteers. Sad news for those who have done their bit over the past 40 years. All of them worked with industry and the regulator on those things which were topical at the time of their involvement. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
