It is with a very heavy heart, and a sad stroke of the keys that I inform you William F. "Bill" O'Brien
passed away Sunday, November 9, 2008. Condolences may be sent to Marie and family at
12508 Lt. Nichols Road, Fairfax, VA 22033.
Without a doubt this is a severe blow to the aviation industry, there are too many items to try
and recall or highlight at this moment for all the good/great things Bill did in his lifetime for
everyone in the industry. Two major items he will always be remembered for; The Charles E.
Taylor Program, and the FAA AMT Awards Program.

State of AMTSociety Address
Dear AMTSociety Members,
Starting next month, I will begin keeping you up-to-date on the latest activities and updates for AMTSociety.
Currently, the board of directors is working on the bylaws for student charters, Aviation Industry Expo Maintenance Skills Competition, and improving membership services.
Additionally, I will focus on one member of the board in order for you to become more familiar with each of us who work for and represent you.
If you have been checking the AMTSociety website, you know we have been busy with a very ambitious fall schedule for IA renewals. Providing this educational opportunity to different regions of the country is one of our primary services to you, our members. It's no small task and one that we could not provide without the generosity of industry leaders who provide speakers as well as those who support the AMTSociety through their company memberships and other sponsorships. I'll let you know the highlights of these IA renewals and also preview the upcoming schedule.
The main ingredient is keeping you, the member, up-to-date on our benefits and also the issues we have or will address in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support.
