Linda Peters, who has managed exhibitor activities for NBAA’s conventions and other events, is retiring on January 12 after spending nearly the past 28 years with the association. As v-p of exhibits, Peters has been responsible for sales, placement, development, and on-site support for BACE, as well as for the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition and the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition.
She has also steered exhibitor relations for NBAA's Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference, Maintenance Conference, and regional forums. Most recently, she oversaw the return of the in-person BACE show after last year’s Covid-induced hiatus and helped organize a nearly sold-out exhibit space in the newly opened West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“Throughout her career with NBAA, Linda’s invaluable counsel has ensured that our exhibitors get the highest value from their investment in our shows,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “As Linda begins this next chapter in her life, we thank her, and we wish her nothing but the best.”
Peters joined NBAA in 1994 after serving with the Helicopter Association International.
“What I am most proud of during my time at NBAA is the spirit of teamwork that characterizes the organization’s successful events in the U.S. and around the world,” said Peters. “I will miss my friends at NBAA, but I know our events are in good hands.”
