2020 Intruder Association Election - President
Published on: Tuesday, April 14, 2020
Greetings Fellow Intruders,
In just a few weeks, T Lad Webb, will be completing his term as our Intruder Association President.� Under T Lad�s leadership, we have seen many successful reunions, the growth of our Intruder Tribute program, and the expansion of our Scholarship Fund � and these are just a few of his many notable successes.� On T Lad�s watch, the Association has matured into a well organized group in which Navy and Marine Corps Intruders have bonded to share common goals, a widely increased public awareness of the Intruder aircraft, and a fraternity of friends and shipmates who regularly meet to share stories and fellowship.� To say that the filling of his shoes will be difficult, is a huge understatement.� However, the time has come to select his replacement.
Several possible candidates for the position have been contacted and vetted.� One candidate has emerged and is on the ballot.� Mike �Snake� Novak has been very active among the DC Area Intruders and is a regular attendee at our biennial reunions.� A former Bombardier/Navigator, Snake comes to us from Northrop Grumman where he is currently the Corporate Director for Naval Aviation Programs. His attached biography speaks volumes, and you will find him to be eminently qualified for the position of President of the Intruder Association.
In accordance with our By-Laws and Administrative Manual, the President must be elected by a majority of the membership at-large.� Normally, the balloting ends on the first day of our biennial reunion with the election occurring during the Saturday morning business meeting.� This year, due to the pandemic and resulting reunion date change, we are unable to conduct this business at the reunion.� Instead, we are polling the membership at-large via email.� Since Mike will be running unopposed, your voting responsibility is simply to vote �Yes� if you are in favor of electing Mike to be our Intruder Association President, �No� if you are opposed to selecting Mike, or �Write-in� if you wish to name somebody else to fill the position.� A simple majority will be needed to select our President from the votes received.� Voting instructions are as follows:
To cast your vote for Intruder Association President as described above, simply reply to this email and state �Yes�, �No�, or �Write-in�.� If you select �Write-in�, you must also provide the name of the individual you would prefer to select.� All votes must be received not later than midnight PDT on 30 April (as that would have been the closing time of our ballot had we been at our reunion in San Diego).� Final results of the election will be posted within seven days.
