News / ZHU Appoints New DATM
« on: August 05, 2024, 02:21:11 PM »
Hear ye, hear ye!

I am thrilled to announce that Gregory Albrecht  has been selected as ZHU’s new Deputy Air Traffic Manager. Greg brings a wealth of experience, knowledge and a passion for aviation/VATSIM that will be invaluable as we continue to grow the Houston ARTCC. His values align perfectly with all of our community and the plans we have for the future.

Again, I want to thank Clay Brock  for the blood, sweat and tears he has put into ZHU. Clay has set the bar high for the DATM position. He is handing over a solid foundation that has set us up for continued success. As we move forward with the transition, we will strive to build upon the strong base he has established, ensuring that his values and standards remain at the core of our efforts.

Please join me in welcoming Greg and wishing him success in his new role.

Cheers to you Greg!
