What similar activities to this Board position have you performed with other organizations e.g., community services, professional associations, public agencies, or other organizations e.g., PTA, Scouting etc.?
Served 11 years on the Board of Directors of the Academy of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is similar in size to the PCA in membership levels, annual income, and net worth. I was elected 4 times to represent 28,000 members in California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Hawaii, and Guam. I was one of 14 BOD members responsible for oversite of the organization.
What talents and skills do you bring to the Board?
I spent 35 years working in the Aerospace and Airline industries as an Engineer. During that time, I handled many complex projects that required considerable effort. I believe this gives me skills to help plan and manage events, issues, and people.
What would you like to achieve while serving on the Diablo Region Board?
I would like to involve members in our activities. Expand offerings in technical topics such as light owner maintenance and help the Diablo Region be recognized as an innovator in best practices for a PCA region.
