District 166 Directing Business Representative Johnny Walker

District 166 Directing Business Representative Johnny Walker has been re-appointed to the Space Florida commission by Florida’s Republican Governor Charlie Crist.

Space Florida is the public-private partnership responsible for promoting and developing Florida’s aerospace industry. Space Florida was created by the Florida legislature to sustain Florida’s position as the global space leader. As declared in its mission statement, Space Florida drives state economic development across the global aerospace enterprise.

“Congratulations to Brother Walker,” said Southern Territory GVP Bob Martinez. “Florida will be undergoing a transformation in the space business in the coming decades, and it’s important for the highly-skilled space workers in Florida to have a voice and opportunities in the changes occurring.”

“It is crucial that the IAM, the preeminent aerospace union in North America, has a seat at the table in preparing for the future of the space industry in Florida,” continued Martinez. “Brother Walker has the leadership and knowledge that is key to continuing our leadership in the space sector.”
