Steven Loranger, Chairman, President and CEO for ITT Corporation since 2004, will be the speaker at RTCA’s Fall Symposium Awards Luncheon, where leadership roles from RTCA committees and key documents for 2009 will be showcased.

Prior to ITT, Loranger was Chief Operating Officer at Textron, Inc. overseeing a $10 billion portfolio of aircraft and defense, fluid systems, automotive and industrial business. Before Textron, Loranger spent 21 years at Honeywell and its predecessor AlliedSignal. He also served as President and CEO of Honeywell's $5 billion aerospace engines, systems and services business, and before Honeywell merged with AlliedSignal in 1999, Loranger held various positions, including president and CEO AlliedSignal Engines, president of the Bendix Truck Brake Group, and vice president of the Commercial Auxiliary Power Unit.

"The Awards Luncheon reflects on the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who collectively invest thousands of hours understanding problems, deliberating alternatives and ultimately forging consensus on performance standards that withstand the test of time," said RTCA President Margaret Jenny. "We’re pleased that Steve is joining us to recognize the key facilitators who went the extra mile with extraordinary contributions to the consensus process."

"The Technologies Fueling NextGen" is scheduled for September 22nd in Washington, D.C. For more information and a complete schedule of events, visit www.RTCAFallSymposium.com.
