EAA president to speak at Sebring LSA Expo

By Janice Wood · November 28, 2011 ·

Rod Hightower, president of the Experimental Aircraft Association, will be the keynote speaker at the Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association (LAMA) dinner during the 8th Annual U.S. Sport Aviation Expo Jan. 19, 2012.

The LAMA dinner is not open to the general public. Invited guests must be LSA professionals who are members of LAMA or who may be considering joining LAMA.

Hightower has a distinguished career in business leadership, which spans more than 25 years of business management for manufacturing and industrial companies. He also is a vintage aircraft enthusiast, having restored his own Stearman biplane, which he flies out of Creve Coeur, Missouri. He is also active as a director of the National Stearman Foundation and has helped organize the annual Stearman National Fly-in. His duties as EAA president include the day-to-day operations, as well as direction of EAA programs and strategy. He is only the third president in EAA history and the first outside the Poberezny family
