JAMES A. VIOLA ASSUMED THE LEADERSHIP of HAI on Jan. 16, 2020. As the president and CEO of the association, the seventh since its founding in 1948, Jim is responsible for carrying out the Board of Directors' vision while overseeing the professional staff and day-to-day operations. Jim comes to HAI after careers in the US Army, where he first learned to fly, and the FAA. In both organizations, he rose from the ranks to positions of authority. "I like to get things done, to influence things, instead of just sitting back and saying, 'Well, I wish that hadn't happened,'" says Jim.
