text: EBAA CEO Brandon Mitchener has departed the association, almost exactly one year after he was appointed. The search for a new leader is under way, and EBAA has stated that preparations for EBACE, in collaboration with NBAA, will continue uninterrupted.
  Chairman of the board of governors Juergen Wiese will be supported by board members Marwan Khalek, Graham Williamson, Robert Smith and Maxime Bouchard in leading and supervising the secretariat, reinforced by EBAA's senior management team, until a successor is named.
  Wiese says: “EBAA has built a strong foundation for future growth, with a range of exciting projects and opportunities ahead of us.
  “On behalf of our members, the board, secretariat and I will continue our strong advocacy of business aviation in Europe and will continue to move our association forward as we have done for the past 41 years.”
