Ms. Fu Fremberg has proven on numerous occasions to be an exceptionally talented leader and a trusted member of a multitude of teams, whether they are internal to MITRE, international customers, the Federal Aviation Administration, or other federal government agencies such as the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). As program manager for three U.S. government and industry aviation cooperation programs initiated by the USTDA —Air Traffic Flow Manage- ment Executive Training, Air Traffic Management Bureau Ex- ecutive Training and China Executive Management Develop- ment Training—Ms. Fu Fremberg has been a key participant in the U.S.-China aviation cooperation program (ACP) since its inception in 2003.
Now in her fifth year as project manager, the ACP’s executive management development training [EMDT program] is one of the most successful between the U.S. and Chinese govern- ments. Each group trains 35 “rising star” Chinese managers for four to five months, with over a dozen American compa- nies and agencies participating. The ACP has been successful in raising the awareness of American technology, products’ standards and services while promoting safer operations and more efficient management of China’s aviation sector. The Civil Aviation Administration of China has said EMDT is the best collaboration program ever between the U.S. and China. Data collected by the U.S. government shows that these ef- forts are leading to an increase in U.S. job growth and trade between the two nations.
