Conklin & de Decker will host its “Essential Tools for Your New Maintenance Manager’s Role” from February 15 through 17 in Irving, Texas. “The seminar provides helicopter maintenance managers the necessary tools needed to master their challenging position,” said Brandon Battles, v-p and co-owner. “Many maintenance professionals, when thrust into a management role, feel behind the power curve. This seminar enables them to catch up and enhance the management skills that allow them to become more valuable contributors when helping the organization accomplish its goals and objectives,” he said. Battles and FAA designated airworthiness representative Gary Potochnik will conduct the seminar; both have taught the course’s content for 15 years. Topics covered include the principles of management, financial management, inventory, information systems and regulatory issues.
