CEPA
27 Jan, 12CEPA, the three-year old Central European Private Aviation organisation, will be announcing a new Chairman and a fresh new emphasis at the beginning of February, as departing Chairman Jiřà Matoušek, completes his contracted year at the end of this month.
Dagmar Grossmann, CEPA founder, explains: “We feel it is important to continue bringing fresh ideas to CEPA and for 2012 we have decided to recruit our Chairman from another key area of aviation to ensure the Association continues to develop its full potential. Jiřà will remain with CEPA and assist us during the transition period. Our team is now pro-actively assessing proposals on how to strengthen the Organisation in 2012 and beyond.”
“I would like to thank Mr MatouÅ¡ek wholeheartedly for his dedication over the past year,” she said. “His excellent knowledge of the industry and strong leadership have benefitted CEPA enormously, culminating in a highly successful CEPA EXPO, held in Prague in December, the first dedicated business aviation exhibition held within the central European region.”
Jiřà MatouÅ¡ek replaced Dagmar Grossmann as Chairman of CEPA in February 2011 and has played a pivotal role in developing the profile of CEPA, together with building new relationships between east and western business aviation associations and communities. Working together with Ms Grossmann and David Couto, who will continue to head up CEPA’s marketing efforts, Jiri has worked on various CEPA-related projects during the past year.
CEPA is a voluntary, non-governmental and non-profit members association which co-ordinates the interests of executive aviation manufacturers, operators, airports, service providers, training establishments, fixed wing and rotary brokers to improve standards and best business practice in the region. Supporting services including financial, legal, insurance and publishing companies are also welcomed. The Association's primary goal is to represent its members' interests at national, European and international levels to support the growth of private aviation in the Czech Republic and abroad. For the future CEPA plans to develop an educational arm which will be responsible for providing information and data about the current climate in business aviation in Central Europe.
