About Us
|
| Your interests are well represented by a dedicated and hardworking group of
corporate officers and directors. Many have served since the beginning of AAIRRG and have
devoted hundreds of hours in donated labor because they believe so deeply in the purpose of AAIRRG
— to provide you, the independent repair station operator, with a stable
long-term solution for your aircraft products insurance requirements.
Please feel free to call any of us. We are more than willing to spend some time with you and
share our thoughts on AAIRRG with you. AAIRRG holds its annual shareholder meeting, usually
in March, in conjunction with ARSA’s Symposium. We encourage you to attend —
either as an interested spectator or as a shareholder. And, if you have an interest in
serving as a director, please give Bill Perdue a call and talk with him about that possibility. |
