Hello-
The Airforwarders Association takes our mission very seriously - to be
an effective advocate for members and to provide information and education to
the airforwarding industry. As such, in 2009 we continue our extensive national
tour, visiting regional air cargo associations to provide information about
regulatory and Congressional activities so all our members are prepared to face
upcoming challenges. It is also an opportunity for the Association to learn
more about the local issues impacting your businesses to make us more effective
advocates on your behalf.
The Association believes it is critically important to have our existing
members engaged in these local cargo events. As such, it is our hope that, by
keeping you informed of where AfA has been speaking and where we will be in the
future, we will see many of you attending these events and spreading the AfA
message. It is our strength in numbers, creativity and cohesiveness that has
assisted us in winning many battles and gaining recognition with policy makers,
and only with your ongoing involvement can we continue to achieve success.
This week and next, we have two informative and exciting events coming up in
Dallas and Orlando. We certainly hope you can attend and look forward to seeing
you.
