Laura May Carmack, AIReS’ Quality Manager, was named the new president of the Pan American International Movers Association after an election at PAIMA’s annual General Assembly meeting on October 9.

In her new role, Laura will provide leadership for the Board of Directors and General Assembly while overseeing the continuing growth of the organisation.

Following the election, Laura delivered an acceptance speech in which every PAIMA member present handled a piece of textured fabric and pulled out a thick thread, demonstrating that each member of PAIMA is important to the strength of the PAIMA fabric, and that each thread has a special place in the organisation, and only that one thread can fit into that special slot and contributes by providing ideas, tonnage, and their vote at the PAIMA General Assemblies.

Laura has been on the Board as Secretary for the last two years.  Her appointment as president will run until 2014.
