   The International Air Cargo Association has elected as its chairman Ulrich Ogiermann, president and chief executive officer of Cargolux Airlines International.
   He replaces Jack Boison, retired vice president of cargo for Continental Airlines, who completed his two-year term as TIACA chairman. Ogiernann recently served as TIACA vice chairman.
   Ogiermann said his goal as chairman is to give TIACA a stronger voice on pressing industry topics, develop closer cooperation with other trade organizations to raise the profile of air cargo, and increase the level of dialogue with shippers and freight forwarders about the future of air cargo transportation needs.

   'We have great quality in terms of the people that will be involved in TIACA committees, but recognize that we can only ask for a limited amount of their time,' Ogiermann said in a statement. 'Our target is to create a re-energized and refocused set of committees.'
   In 1998, Ogiermann joined Cargolux as senior vice president of sales and marketing and took over as president and CEO in 2003. He previously worked for Lufthansa Airlines.
   TIACA also named Michael Steen, chief marketing officer of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, to a two-year term as vice chairman. Prior to joining Atlas, Steen worked in senior cargo and logistics roles at DHL, Exel and KLM Cargo.
