Greg Hollows of Edmund Optics Named AIA Chairman
POSTED 01/18/2012
(An
“I am very excited about the opportunity to serve the members of AIA as Chairman of the Board of Directors,” said Hollows. “Over the next two years I hope that we can build upon the strong foundation that currently exists. In doing so we’ll be looking to grow AIA’s presence in existing and emerging market areas through education, understanding and cooperation. Working with the staff and my fellow Board members, we will help make our ‘Vision for the Future’ a reality,” Hollows added.
“Greg has been a key member of the Board during the past three years and Vice Chair for the past two,” said Jeff Burnstein, AIA President. “He has been extremely active in developing our Certified Vision Professional Program, improving The Vision Show and Conference, and serving on the Automate Show Committee that completely reinvented the former International Robots, Vision & Motion Control Show. I am certain Greg will do a great job leading the AIA Board over the next two years.”
Hollows succeeds Rusty Ponce de Leon, President, Phase 1 Technology, who remains on the AIA Board as Past Chairman.
Hollows and Ponce de Leon are joined on the Board by newly-elected Directors Phil Arsenault, Director of Engineering, ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc. and Steve Mott, Vice President, Components Express, Inc. Both Arsenault and Mott are serving their first term on the Board.
Todd Miller, General Manager, JAI, was appointed by the Board to the remaining one year left in the term of Jorgen Andersen, President and CEO at JAI.
Re-elected to new two-year terms are George Chamberlain, President, Pleora Technologies; John Merva, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Advanced Illumination; and Kyle Voosen, Director of Marketing, National Instruments Corporation (U.K.) Ltd.
The other 2012 members of the AIA Board include Michael Cyros, Chief Commercial Officer, Allied Vision Technologies, Inc.; John Jennings, Chief Commercial Officer, Basler Vision Technologies; Keith Reuben, President, Teledyne DALSA Asia-Pacific; Edward Roney, National Accounts Manager, FANUC Robotics America Corporation; and Jeff Burnstein, AIA President.
