Michael Morrissette as President, Al Roberts as Vice President,
Frits Wybenga as Technical Director and Andy Altemos as Staff Associate, DGAC can offer its members
nearly 200 years of transportation compliance leadership at the highest levels. This valuable experience is accessible to members
to help answer your questions.
- Reliable updates and valuable commentary on Hazmat/Dangerous Goods Transportation Regulations.
The key to doing your job is not just keeping up with changing regulations - but understanding how they apply to you.

Civil Aviation Organization and consultative status at the International Maritime Organization.
