The Board of the Airport Services Association (ASA) announced today that the Chairman, Samim Aydin, and the Secretary General, Martin Meyer have both stepped down after serving the association since 2010.
The Board has elected a new Chairman, Sally Leible.
Leible, who is currently the President and CEO of Airport Terminal Services, paid tribute to the work that Aydin and Meyer have done for ASA during the last six years. “When Samim and Martin joined the ASA board in 2010, ASA was just a fledgling association, struggling to be heard. Today, as a result of their hard work and influence at the highest level of our industry, ASA stands tall and alongside its stakeholder associations.”
Aydin and Meyer both joined the Board of ASA when it transitioned from the original handlers’ association that was known as IAHA – the International Airline Handlers’ Association.
“On behalf of the entire Board and the members of ASA I would like to thank them for the enormous amount of time each has dedicated to ASA, despite having very demanding full time jobs, and wish them well in the future,” concluded Leible.
