Paul Graziani Named A To Second Term
The Civil Air Patrol Board of Governors welcomes two new
members - retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Susan L. Pamerleau and
retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Sanford "Sandy" Schlitt. Both
Pamerleau and Schlitt are appointees of Michael B. Donley,
secretary of the Air Force, and Maj. Gen. Amy S. Courter, CAP
national commander, who cited them for their expertise in the areas
of governance, strategy, aerospace and fundraising.
Pamerleau, who serves on the Board of Directors with the
Government Personnel Mutual Life Insurance Co. in San Antonio,
Texas, concluded a 32-year career with the Air Force in 2000 as a
commander, planner and programmer, and human resources
professional. She also serves as a trustee with the Air Force Aid
Society, the official charity of the Air Force, and has chaired the
board of trustees for Arnold Air Society/Silver Wings, the service
organization for Air Force ROTC and Air Force Academy cadets.
Schlitt, the Air Force Association's vice chairman of the board
for aerospace education, served for 34 years in a variety of Air
Force, Air National Guard and Reserve assignments, principally in
the contracts management and acquisition fields. He retired in
2001. Schlitt was a principal architect of the Aerospace Education
and Field Councils as part of AFA's new, combined governance
structure, adopted in 2006. He has established or purchased several
successful businesses. He served as chairman of the board of one
company and was a member of the board on another, a NASDAQ-listed
public company.
Both Pamerleau and Schlitt will serve three-year terms on the
Board of Governors, CAP's strategic policy-making and guidance
body.
In addition, Paul L. Graziani, chief executive officer and
co-founder of Analytical Graphics Inc., who just completed his
first term on the board, has been reappointed to a second
three-year term. The board is a team of expert advisers consisting
of representatives from CAP volunteers, the U.S. Air Force and
civilians involved in education, aviation and emergency
management.
As three of 11 members of the board, Pamerleau, Schlitt and
Graziani join other distinguished Air Force, CAP and civilian
advisers, including Courter and Air Force Maj. Gen. Garry Dean,
commander of Continental U.S. North American Aerospace Defense
Command Region-1st Air Force and Air Forces Northern.
The other members are retired Air Force Maj. Gen. John M.
Speigel; retired Air Force Lt. Gens. John D. Hopper Jr. and
Nicholas B. Kehoe; CAP Brig. Gens. Richard L. Anderson and Reggie
Chitwood, national vice commander; and CAP Lt. Col. Edward F. "Ned"
Lee, who was appointed to the board earlier this year.
