About AIAM

The Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan is a non-profit, “member-driven” organization founded and led by Tony Vernaci.
Tony has held executive positions at Global Advantages, Doncasters, and Textron. He was the Senior Vice President of International, Director of Global Integrated Supply Chain, Director of Six Sigma, General Manager of Manufacturing, and Regional Director of Distribution. Before joining Textron, Tony spent 10 years in the automotive industry at both an OEM and a Tier-one supplier.
