GAMA Promotes Martin, Joyner, Adds To Govt Affairs Team

The General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) bolstered its leadership team with the promotions of Kyle Martin to v-p of European affairs and Amanda Joyner to managing director of government affairs, as well as the addition of Marc Ehudin as director of government affairs.

“Over the last several years, Kyle and Amanda have proven to be exceptional leaders,” said GAMA president and CEO Pete Bunce. “Their expertise in government and regulatory affairs, as well as manufacturing and maintenance technical policy, have played a critical role in supporting our membership and shaping GAMA’s global policy agenda.”

Martin, who joined GAMA in 2016 as director of European regulatory affairs, is steering GAMA’s legislative, political, and regulatory strategies in Europe in his new role. Joyner, who joined GAMA in 2012 as director of government affairs, is integral in developing GAMA’s federal policy agenda and advocacy efforts on behalf of GAMA’s members.

Ehudin joins the government affairs team after spending more than 20 years with Textron and AAI Corporation handling general aviation, tax policy, and manufacturing issues. He also has served with U.S. House members representing Texas and Maryland districts.

“Marc brings a wealth of experience to GAMA. His vast knowledge of Congress, the appropriations process, and general aviation and manufacturing issues will help elevate our policy and government affairs efforts,” Bunce said.
