Safety Standdown Advisory Council welcomes new chairs and members

The Bombardier Safety Standdown team is excited to share changes to the 2024 Advisory Council, including the addition of two new members.  

This year’s Advisory Council Chair is Marty Grier. He has been a member since 2019 and will be guiding the council’s strategic goals for 2024. Grier won the Bombardier Safety Standdown award in 2018, becoming the first maintenance professional to do so. 

The 2024 Advisory Council Vice Chair is Christopher Sweeney. He has been a member since 2021. Sweeney is a longstanding champion of Safety Standdown, facilitating pilots, cabin crew, maintenance technicians, analysts, and managers to attend. 

The Safety Standdown team also extends a big welcome to two fantastic additions to the council: Erika Armstrong, VP of Business Development, Advanced Aircrew Academy, and Jennifer Pickerel, Vice President, Aviation Personnel International.  

Our appreciation also goes out to the previous Advisory Council Chair, Melissa Cooper, for her dedication as the 2023 chair and member of the council since 2019.
