Under the guidance of our accomplished CEO, Sheri Chaffin Weir, Esq (with over 13 years experience in the aerospace industry), you can be certain that policy regarding financial, legal and administrative matters is not only clear cut and defined, but more so fair to all parties involved. With accomplishments in higher education including a law degree with current membership of the California State Bar coupled with extensive management and development experience, Sheri brings AIReps the operational structure needed for stability and growth while possessing the ability to recognize and adapt to the ever-changing business environment. Where most CEO’s only focus on the big picture, Sheri opts for the “hands on approach” with involvement in the day-to-day activities enabling her to invoke continual improvements to an already well developed infrastructure. This in turn nurtures relationships with customers and vendors as well as continuous maintenance and improvements in quality level, product-line availability, and training and supervision of all personnel.
