Two Former Board Members Re-Elected
After ANN inquired as to reports about some "turbulence" within
their organizational structure, Angel Flight of New England, Inc.
d/b/a Angel Flight Northeast (AFNE) told Aero-News of
their plans to reorganize its board of directors,
according to president and co-founder Lawrence Camerlin. The
reorganization includes the re-election of former board member and
chairman, Eugene E. Loubier, who will again serve as chairman; the
re-election of former board member James F. Cear and his
reappointment to the position of treasurer; and the pending
election of additional board members.
Mr. Loubier is a co-founder of AFNE and served as chairman of
the AFNE board of directors from 1998 until 2005. He has more
than thirty years' experience in healthcare management, most
recently as president and CEO of Winchester Hospital and its parent
organization, Winchester Health Care Management, from which he
retired in 1995. Mr. Loubier has also served in many
capacities both regionally and nationally in hospital association
work, including 20 years of service with the New England Hospital
Association, appointment to the position of chairman, and receiving
the organization's Gold Medal recognition. He also was
elected by his peers to serve as the Massachusetts representative
on the board of the National Professional Organization of the
American College of Healthcare Executives and served as president
of the Maine Hospital Association, as well as on many state
committees in Maine.
Mr. Cear is a managing director of Bank of New York/Mellon in New
York City. He previously served as a director for AFNE from
1998 to May 2009. During that time, he also served as AFNE's
treasurer. Mr. Cear is retired from the United States Air
Force where he served seven years on active duty flying B-52
aircraft and 14 years in the New York Air National Guard flying
C-130 aircraft during air-sea rescue missions, NASA Space Shuttle
missions, and on active duty during Desert Storm. Mr. Cear is
a licensed pilot and certified flight instructor who has flown as a
volunteer pilot with AFNE since 1997.
"Since we founded Angel Flight Northeast in 1996, the
organization has brought hope and help to more people than we could
have imagined when we first embarked on the journey," said AFNE
president and co-founder, Lawrence Camerlin. "The reorganization is
intended to match experience with new thinking to help us chart a
course for the future."
Angel Flight Northeast is a non-profit, 501(c) (3) organization
that provides free air transportation in private aircraft by
volunteer pilots so that individuals in need may access critical,
often life-saving, medical care.
As to the previously mentioned reports of "turbulence" within
the organization, no one at Angel Flight NE has yet made themselves
available for questions...
