The Annual General Meeting of ORAJe took place yesterday at the Cercle National des Armées. A key moment in the life of an association, the AGM was the occasion to present the moral, activity and financial reports and to elect the members of the Executive Committee, which was partially renewed.

As part of this renewal, Héloïse Conte was re-elected President and Elias Bouzar Spinella was re-elected Treasurer. The association welcomes the newly elected François Dufour as Vice-President and Arthur Nichanian as Secretary.

The AGM was an opportunity to express our sincere thanks to Michel Dubarry, the main architect of the USAIRE Student Awards and ORAJe. Since then, Michel has been present at each of the association’s major events, providing important support and making sure that ORAJe members are introduced to industry representatives at every opportunity.

Thanks to his commitment and unfailing optimism, Michel has hashtag#inspired several generations of ORAJe members to enter the industry and shape its future. In recognition of his achievements, Michel was unanimously elected Honorary Chairman of the association.

Finally, it was an opportunity to pay tribute to Ophélie Tan and Dan H. who are leaving the Board after three years of strong commitment. We wish them every success in their new endeavors.

Our heartfelt thanks to all our members and our partners NYCO, specialty lubricants and synthetic esters and USAIRE for your trust, support and loyal commitment to ORAJe and its missions.

The new board plans its comeback. Get ready for a new year of aviation passion!
