COPA leadership question

[charv66]

How long has the current COPA President (K. Psutka) been in office (consecutively) ?

From the COPA website:

Kevin Psutka replaced long-time COPA manager Bill Peppler who retired in 1996. Psutka came to COPA from the Canadian Air Line Pilots Association bringing experience in general aviation, the air force, Transport Canada and the industry.

In 1998, the title “COPA President of the Board of Directors” was renamed “COPA Chairman.” The COPA Manager title was changed to President and CEO.

Eighteen consecutive years at the helm for the top job?
Thank you.

The general wisdom -- enunciated by association presidents of my acquaintance -- is that those who hold that position should do so for an average of 5 to 7 years, and no longer than 10 years.
I cannot, however, point to any substantive research that confirms those opinions.
