The Specialty Tools & Fasteners Distributors Association (STAFDA) is pleased to announce “Miracle on the Hudson” hero pilot and author, Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, will be the Association’s keynote speaker at its November 13-15, 2011 San Antonio Convention & Trade Show. Sullenberger will speak during the General Session on Monday, November 14, at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. His talk — Leadership that Transforms — will be based on his upcoming second book. He’ll address how to overcome obstacles to achieve peak performance in any type of situation.
For 40 years, “Sully” led an accomplished yet anonymous career in the skies as a pilot, instructor and aviation safety expert. In January 2009, after logging more than 20,000 flight hours, he was propelled into the spotlight as an international hero, safely guiding a US Airways jet to an emergency landing on the icy Hudson River in New York and saving 155 lives. The Airbus 320’s two engines had lost thrust following a bird strike. Sullenberger and his crew won international acclaim for their actions, including the passage of a Congressional resolution recognizing their bravery.
The 2011 STAFDA Annual Convention and Trade show runs November 13-15 in San Antonio, TX.
