Fellow Flight Testers and Members of the Society of Flight Test Engineers:
Congratulations to New Chapter Officers!
The Antelope Valley and Emerald Coast Chapters recently held elections and installed new officers – congratulations to both the incoming officers and to those who have passed the torch to them. I thank the former officers for their service and look forward to working with the new officers. I am thankful for the opportunities I have had at the local and international level to serve SFTE – I can honestly say it has helped my career: I have benefitted from both being a member and an officer of SFTE. I will not lie: sometimes it is not easy, but it is always worth it! Those of you that have met me know that I always find a way to make it fun and enjoyable, and I hope I’m helping make SFTE fun for you, too. Start with your local chapter or contact us at the international office if you’d like to experience the fun and benefits of contributing to SFTE. You’ll be glad you did!
