industry and is a great way to enhance
one's talent. I would encourage all
ISTAT member companies to consider
enrolling their young professionals in
an ISTAT PDP course to promote their
growth and development.
ISTAT PDP courses dovetail well
with other initiatives. The ISTAT
Rising Executives Program, sponsored
by Avolon, offers networking and
educational opportunities to ISTAT
members and professionals with
less than 10 years in the commercial
aviation industry. Through networking
events, educational offerings, content
sharing and more, the ISTAT Rising
Executives community provides the
necessary resources young commercial
aviation professionals need to succeed
in their roles and become future leaders
in the industry. The program has over
1,000 members, with events held at our
major conferences as well as regionally
throughout the world. If there is a
young professional in your company
who could benefit from the Rising
Executives Program, they can find out
more details on the ISTAT website. As
a member benefit, participation in the
program is without charge.
ISTAT is currently in the midst of our
strategic planning process to establish
our goals and focus for the coming
years. As a not-for-profit organization
run by and for our members, ISTAT plays
a truly unique role in our industry. Our
mission has been and remains to provide
the highest quality and best-value
networking and educational opportunities
in commercial aviation, to support our
industry leading appraiser program and
to invest in our industry's future through
the support of the ISTAT Foundation.
While these three main pillars remain
intact, we certainly don't wish to be
complacent and are always looking for
new ways to support our members.
ISTAT PDP, our Rising Executives
Program, and the implementation of the
Sustainability Symposium and Dublin Hub
highlight some recent initiatives. As we
look forward, we have engaged in member
outreach to listen to your concerns and
aspirations for our association and are
working to finalize our new strategic plan
in time for implementation at the Americas
conference in March 2023. I want to thank
those who took the time to respond to our
surveys. As a member-run organization,
your input is critical to this process.
Wishing you all the best.
