USA - The International Association of Assembly Managers (IAAM) has accepted a permanent seat on Entertainment Services and Technology Association’s (ESTA) new Certification Council - the governing body that will manage the development and implementation of a new industry-wide certification program for entertainment technology technicians.

IAAM president Joe Floreano, CFE, has appointed Don Hancock, Ph.D., CAE, IAAM’s director of education, research and development, as their representative to the Council.

The ESTA Certification Council will represent the diversity of the industry. Members will include key leaders in entertainment business, labor, facilities, associations, and academia. ESTA is in the process of extending invitations for Certification Council membership. IATSE, (International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees), and USITT, (the United States Institute for Theatre Technology), have also accepted permanent seats on the Council. The key areas of electrical skills and rigging skills have been identified for initial development in the ESTA Personnel Certification Program.
