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

Services as Board chairman. Pat Cunningham of PepsiCo, Inc. is
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

USAF flight instructor from 1974 to 1980. Lee has been a member of
NBAA’s Board since 2001, where he most recently served as
vice chairman and treasurer.
Pat Cunningham has more

management experience. He holds an M.B.A. from Manhattan College
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.
He joined the NBAA Board in 2002 and was re-elected in 2005.
Ken Emerick, who graduated from Wayne State University, was
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
