From the President
I found Ryan Naru on a search for an educator that would describe what Joby was all about. This man is terrific, full of knowledge about the industry and The Joby VTOL. I have already invited him to several virtual events already, including our own Empire State Chapter Education Series, happening every other month. See the Events page for future dates for our educational series. We are very interest at the Empire State Chapter in the future to help share their message with a live event. You can reach him at ry*******@**by.aero.
