A Time for Transition


It has been a great couple of years serving as your AAAA National President. Actually, it has been a great eight year run as your Treasurer, Secretary, Senior Vice President, and now President.

Frankly, I am still humbled to have had the privilege to serve our professional organization. Unlike most of our brother and sister military not for profit organizations, I think...
