I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your vote to fill one of the upcoming
ATCA Board of Directors – at – Large vacancies. It would be an honor to represent
you and to continue my support and long lasting involvement as a member of the
Air Traffic Control Association. With your support I will be bringing over 35 years of
aviation experience in both the public and private sectors of our profession.
I have been extremely fortunate to serve and lead several large executive boards
and I believe I bring the experience and understanding to guide our strategic vision and represent you on
this board. I have been associated with Air Traffic Control since enlisting in the United States Air Force
during the Vietnam Era and continued until my retirement in 2012 as the Deputy Chief Operating officer /
Senior Vice President for operations at the FAA. My experience extends well beyond our domestic
interest – I have also served the international community as a member of the CANSO Executive
Committee. I currently support the efforts of a well-established and dynamic small and woman owned
business called CGH Technologies. I believe the relationships that I maintain within the FAA as well as
several newly formed partnerships outside of the Agency will serve us well.
Our industry is changing at a rapid pace. It would be an honor to represent you and serve as your
advocate on this very distinguished board. I have been a member of ATCA for decades and many of you
have seen my personal involvement firsthand. Your vote is extremely important and I hope that you will
give me your support as you submit your ballot. Should you have any questions feel free to contact me
at [email protected], and I thank you in advance for your vote.
Very Respectfully,
Rick
