Please join me in welcoming Shane Friedman as the new VATUSA Staff Development Manager! Shane has been a long standing member of ZMA, most recently serving as the ATM there. With previous experience as the DATM, FE, a mentor, an instructor, and a member of multiple workgroups and other extra initiatives around the division and network, Shane has established himself as a well-rounded and passionate staff member.
We look forward to Shane filling this position and using his past knowledge and experience to continue pushing VATUSA into the next chapter. As the Staff Development Manager (SDM), Shane will work closely with ARTCC staff to improve the onboarding/training process when transitioning into a new role as a first time staff member, work to establish metrics and goals with each ARTCC to further grow the community, and further establish and standardize staff role expectations across the division.
Congrats Shane!!
