Former AOPA President Previously Held Numerous Positions In The Federal Government
The Lightspeed Aviation Foundation announced Wednesday that Craig Fuller, former AOPA president and CEO, has joined its board of directors.
The foundation said in a news release that Fuller brings to the Foundation experience gained through a career that includes senior public affairs positions in business, association leadership, and executive positions in the federal government, including eight years of service in the White House from 1981 to 1989. Craig's most recent service was to the over 300,000 members of AOPA from 2009 to 2013.
"I started flying private aircraft when I became 16 years old and aviation has been part of my life ever since," said Fuller. "During the past few years, I witnessed first-hand the impact the Lightspeed Aviation Foundation has had by celebrating the success of the very best organizations in general aviation. I am honored to join the board of this foundation that helps the aviation community impact so many people throughout the world."
Fuller joins a board already endowed with considerable business and aviation knowledge and experience:
- Charlie Plumb, noted motivational speaker and former Navy fighter pilot and P.O.W. and the recipient of numerous military honors
- Wayne Handley, owner of Wayne Handley Aerosports and an aerobatic champion, preeminent air show performer, and former naval aviator
- Bill Dolan, President of Spirit Media and an Emmy-nominated TV producer and director
- Michael Thoben III, former CEO of Interlink Electronics and a passionate and accomplished aviator
- Allan Schrader, Foundation President and Founder and President of Lightspeed Aviation, Inc.
"Craig is a superb addition to a committed and passionate group of people," said Allan Schrader, Foundation President. "I'm proud of what we have accomplished so far and his participation with us will help advance our mission even further."
