Almy was previously vice president of membership, marketing and communications for the National Air Transportation Association.

Before that he worked at the National Business Aviation Association where he held the roles of VP of communications, VP of strategic programs and SVP of marketing and communications.

Brownell, Almy’s predecessor at the MRA, announced his intention to leave the association and pursue other career opportunities in November. He has since taken up the role of executive director of the Association of Film Commissioners International.
