Attendees will hear from Jeff Skiles, the co-pilot of the US Airways plane that landed in the Hudson River when a flock of geese flew into the engines causing the crew to make some fast choices that turned out to be all the right ones. His presentation is called “The Miracle on The Hudson.”
Also speaking will be Derek Kaufman, who will address “Powertrain Trends and the Reman Opportunities They Represent.” Derek last spoke to the APRA group in 2000 and we are delighted to have him back with us this year to talk about the changes and opportunities that exist for those in the remanufacturing marketplace. Derek is Chief Operating Officer with Mission Motors.
Sandra Seifert, an Engineer at Bayreuth University with an engaging personality, will add to the message with her talk “Black Magic or Rocket Science? Reman Research Results Brought Down to Earth.” Sandra will highlight many of the major issues affecting the remanufacturing industry as a result of the World Remanufacturing Summit that took place in Germany in early September 2012.
APRA has also invited Paul Turner, co-President of BizUnite, APRA’s service provider of the Reman Toolbox, to share information on the latest services and benefits offered through the Reman Toolbox.
