The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) has appointed UK technology centre SATRA’s chief executive Richard Turner to the AAFA board of directors. He succeeds Dr Ron Whittaker who retired last month.

AAFA President and CEO Kevin Burke commented, “To have Richard Turner on the association’s board will benefit not only the industries we represent, but I believe he will find many opportunities for himself and SATRA as well as we all work and learn together.”

Through an exclusive partnership, SATRA services are available to AAFA footwear member companies.
