NBAA has announced the election of three new Directors during
the Association’s Annual Meeting.
“Over the past year, the Board has considered many
qualified candidates who – in addition to having a working
knowledge of the Association and the issues affecting the business
aviation community – can ensure diversity in terms of
geography, size of flight department, professional skills and
experiences and cultural backgrounds,” said NBAA Board
Chairman Ken Emerick.
“These three new Directors are a good fit in our effort to
make the Board more diverse in its perspective than it has ever
been. They are aware of our industry’s economic drivers; they
understand safety and mechanical issues; in short, they are
familiar with the real world of aviation, just like our Member
Companies with small flight departments are.”
The new additions to NBAA’s Board of Directors are:
Ronald Duncan, President, CEO and
Co-Founder, General Communication, Inc. Duncan exemplifies
NBAA’s owner/operator constituency because he manages both
his company and his small airplane organization. Since 1989, Duncan
has been the president and CEO of Alaska-based Global
Communications. He holds a commercial pilot’s license with
SEL&S and MEL ratings and is type rated in CE-560, IA 1125 and
G-100 aircraft. In 25 years of flying, he has accumulated 5,000
hours, more than half of which are in turbine-powered
aircraft.
Michael Herman, Chairman, North American Communications. As an
individual who operates a Citation J-2 for business travel, Herman
brings the perspective of a pilot/owner to the Board. His company,
an international provider of direct-mail manufacturing and
distribution to Fortune 500 clients, operates with a fleet of just
two aircraft.
Monte J.M. Koch, Chairman, Mergers and Acquisitions Americas,
Deutche Bank. In addition to his oversight of Deutche Bank’s
Mergers and Acquisitions Group, Koch has advised on merger
transactions in virtually every major industry. He was a founding
member of Falcon Share LLC; is ATP rated for commercial,
multi-engine, instrument airplanes and private rotocraft; and has
approximately 1,800 hours of flight service.
