Cleveland Center (ZOB) is please to announce that Amin Abrahem has been promoted to TA! Congratz Amin! Amin has been one of our Instructors and a member of the ZOB training department for some time now, and we expect great things out of him.
And with Amin's promotion, it is with great sadness that we announce the departure of Josh Burr as our TA. Josh has provided several years of service at nothing but the most rigorous level of excellence. His real world experience and time on the network have been a great boon to ZOB and we offer him our thanks. Josh will be staying on as an instructor and we look forward to many more years on the scopes with him.
Finally, with Amin's promotion, we now have an open position for Events Coordinator. See posting below:
