NBAA has implemented
its Board officer succession plan, as Jeffrey W. Lee of IBM

NBAA’s new vice chairman and treasurer, filling the role
vacated by Lee. Emerick will serve on the Board's Executive
Committee in the position of immediate past chairman. These officer
elections for two-year terms were held in June and took effect
9/27.
Jeff Lee is currently the director of flight operations for IBM

and a B.A. in political science from Manhattanville College, and he
is a 1996 cum laude graduate of the Pace University School of Law.

first appointed to the NBAA Board in January 2000 to fill a vacancy
and was elected to the Board for his first three-year term in
October 2000.
These officers' terms will conclude at the NBAA 62nd Annual
Meeting & Convention, scheduled to be held in Orlando, FL,
October 20 through 22, 2008. Founded in 1947 and based in
