Alexandria, VA, February 21, 2008 – The Air Charter Safety Foundation this week announced the hiring of Jacqueline E. Rosser as its new Executive Director. Rosser replaces Lindsey McFarren, who recently left for a position with the Transportation Security Administration.
Rosser, a graduate of Southern Illinois University, has been with the National Air Transportation Association (NATA) since 1997. Rosser will continue in her capacity at NATA as Director of Regulatory Affairs, responsible for a wide array of regulatory issues affecting Part 135 on-demand charter issues, and will maintain her role as staff liaison for the NATA Air Charter Committee.
Rosser’s appointment to the Executive Director position recognizes her outstanding work in representing the Part 135 community on a variety of safety and security issues affecting the charter industry.
“Jacque is without question one of the premier experts on safety issues affecting the Part 135 on-demand air charter industry,” stated James K. Coyne, president of the Air Charter Safety Foundation. “Our members and those within the federal government with responsibility over aviation safety issues truly value Jacque’s experience and expertise on all matters relating to charter safety.”
“We are incredibly fortunate to have someone of Jacque’s caliber leading the Foundation and its robust safety agenda,” concluded Coyne. “I know that our Chairman, Charlie Priester, and our Board of Governors were thrilled when she accepted the offer, and we really look forward to an exciting 2008 and beyond.”
