During the past year as IAATI President, I had the opportunity to work with many people.  One person really stood out and worked very hard. Reg Phillips was tasked with chairing the ATPA Committee and the Component Parts Marking Award and Award of Merit committees. Reg was also on the Asian Development Committee, IT Committee, Manufacturers Committee, NAEC Committee, and the Resolutions Committee. He was very active in all of these committees and spearheaded the support for the reaffirmation of the ULC-Can 338-98 Standards for vehicle safety and security.   

Reg spent many hours on IAATI business, conducting numerous meetings and conference calls.  He kept the committee members informed and active in their assignments. He would then provide detailed emails and reports of the committee activities. He took a personal ownership of each committee and held each committee member accountable, making sure the deadlines were met. Reg established sub-committees and set goals to make sure that the committee was progressing and meeting the IAATI goals and objectives.
