AFA Nominees for 2009-2010
The AFA Nominating Committee met on April 17, 2009, and selected candidates to send forward for the five national officer positions
and three elective National Director positions on the Board of Directors. The Committee consists of the three most recent past Chairman
of the Board, one representative selected by each of the Vice Chairmen of the Board (Aerospace Education and Field Operations), two
representatives each from the Central and East geographic areas, one representative from each of the regions in the West geographic area,
and one person representing each of the following constituencies – Total Air Force, Air Force veterans, and aerospace industry.
The slate will be presented to the delegates at the National Convention in Washington D.C. in September. The Nominating Committee used
