EJM AEROSPACE SERVICES of Crestview, Florida and Andalusia, Alabama was certified as of July 1, 2002, as a Participant in the U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program, and as a Small Disadvantaged Business in the Federal Government's SDB Program. EJM's term of participation in each program will run for the next nine years. This will allow EJM to receive business development assistance from the SBA and gain eligibility for receipt of government 8(a) contract awards.

Linda Mlynarczyk, the company's Owner, and Chief Executive Officer, was quick to praise her staff and long-time business associates for their support in her efforts to gain certification. She expressed confidence that EJM's participation in, and support from, the Air Force's Manufacturing Technical Assistance Pilot Program created a positive directing partnership for the long approval process.

Linda believes that this certification will allow her to lead the company into a new field of business opportunities. She says, The immediate goal of the company is to continue to provide world class, rapid response aerospace engineering, manufacturing, and FAA certification, while carefully increasing direct involvement in government military and aerospace programs.  I am confident that EJM will succeed, as a result of this important opportunity, combined with our excellent history of high quality, reliable, cost effective support of our customers world-wide.
