Please join me in congratulating the new Miami ARTCC Air Traffic Manager, Robby Parknavy! Robby is excited to move up from his current role as the ZMA TA and continue serving the ZMA community as the ATM. Robby seeks to prioritize the member experience in ZMA and continue cultivating an active and vibrant community for all to enjoy. With multiple staff positions open in ZMA currently, Robby also looks to provide great opportunities for members to help lead the facility in line with his vision. We are all excited to see the great work Robby does in his new role. Congratulations Robby!

I'd also like to thank the outgoing ATM, Dan Leavitt, for leading the ZMA ARTCC for over 4 years as a senior staff member. Dan and his amazing staff helped ZMA navigate many challenges, including document updates, GCAP policy modifications, and multiple inter-division events. Thank you Dan for your continued support of ZMA!
