Sumwalt, Homendy Reconfirmed To NTSB

Sumwalt To Serve An Additional Three Years At The Head Of The Board

The United States Senate has voted to reconfirm Robert Sumwalt and Jennifer Homendy to additional terms on the NTSB.

The Honorable Robert L. Sumwalt (pictured) began his tenure at the NTSB in August 2006 when President George W. Bush appointed him to the Board and designated him as Vice Chairman of the Board. In November 2011, President Barack Obama reappointed him to an additional five-year term as Board Member. Sumwalt was sworn in as the 14th Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board on August 10, 2017, after being nominated by President Donald J. Trump and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

The Honorable Jennifer Homendy took the oath of office as the 44th Member of the National Transportation Safety Board on August 20, 2018.

"Chairman Robert Sumwalt has been a great friend and champion of safety in our community. We are pleased that both he and Member Homendy been confirmed to serve additional terms," NATA president Gary Dempsey said in a statement. "NATA applauds Chairman Sumwalt’s leadership in promoting the continuous improvement of safety and we look forward to continuing to work with him and Member Homendy in advancing the agency’s initiatives."
