The Board of Directors of the
Association of Naval Aviation has voted to expand the Board
membership to include directors from each of the diverse
communities that make up Naval Aviation. As a first step
the Board has elected the following to join the Board and
they have accepted.
Vice Admiral Walter J. Massenburg, USN
(Ret). VADM Massenburg has extensive experience in Maritime
Patrol and will represent the interests of the maritime
patrol and reconnaissance communities on the Board. His
last active duty was as Commander Naval Air Systems Command
and thus brings that experience to the table as well.
Rear Admiral Jay “Rabbit” Campbell, USN
(Ret) is a fighter pilot, a former CAG and presently
Chairman of the Tailhook Association. He will represent the
interests of the aircraft carrier based communities on the
Board.
Rear Admiral Steven Tomaszevski, USN
(Ret) is a helicopter pilot, former carrier CO and Chairman
of the Navy Helicopter Association. He will represent the
interests of the myriad and various rotary wing communities
on the Board.
In that the expansion of the community
base of the Board renders redundant the previously
established President’s Advisory Council, that Council is
hereby disestablished. Marine and Coast Guard
representatives will be elected to the Board of Directors
when candidates are identified and willing to serve.
The addition of these distinguished
gentlemen to our board will enhance markedly the ability of
your ANA to carry out its mission.
Robert F. Dunn
President
