I have always taken the approach that change is good.
Last June, our publications were purchased by Endeavor Business Media. That was our first change. Then as the year went on, our company continued to acquire more and more properties in different industries.
All of these changes allow us, as a publishing company, to offer more ways to reach industry professionals on many different platforms, whether that be print magazines, digital platforms or live events. And with our increased company portfolio there comes staff additions and changes.
Beginning Jan. 1, I have taken on the role of Group Publisher of the Endeavor Aviation Group which includes Airport Business, Aircraft Maintenance Technology (AMT) and Ground Support Worldwide magazines as well as AviationPros.com and the International GSE Expo.
Lester Craft, who previously served as publisher of AMT has taken on more responsibility as Vice President/Group Publisher within Endeavor Business Media. Additionally, GSE Expo show director Sue Ralston has been promoted to Vice President of Event Operations within the company.
We have also added a new assistant editor for our group Walker Jaroch, and welcomed Fred Ferris to the AMT sales force as a national accounts manager.
We as a group are excited for 2019 and we look forward to our continued growth within the industry. See you all at the next event!
