MONTGOMERY CHAPTER CHAPTER - Sep 04, 2014

Welcome Reception Held for Colonels

In September, the chapter hosted a welcome reception for incoming Maxwell Air Force Base(AFB)–Gunter Annex leadership, Col. Michael Jiru, USAF, and Col. Ronald Jobo, USAF. The reception drew a great turnout of roughly 40 attendees and was hosted at local venue Arrowhead Country Club. Lt. Col. Leonard Boothe, USAF, chapter president, kicked off the event with a brief overview of the chapter and the AFCEA organization as a whole. Charisse Stokes, director of the chapter's Education Foundation, followed Col. Boothe's discussion by introducing Col. Jiru and Col. Jobo to the outreach efforts of the extremely active foundation. Col. Boothe then invited each colonel to make an individual short presentation to introduce themselves to reception attendees and share some of their Air Force experiences. Col. Jobo shared his enthusiasm to be a part of Robert "Shof" Shofner's team at Maxwell AFB–Gunter Annex supporting the Program Executive Office for Business and Enterprise Systems (PEO BES) as the new deputy program executive officer for Business and Enterprise Systems. Col. Jobo served in roles as the deputy director for the Acquisition Center of Excellence and then as deputy director for the Program Management and Integration Directorate at Los Angeles AFB prior to assuming his current position supporting the PEO BES team. Col. Jiru took a moment to mention how impressed he is with the commitment to teamwork he has experienced so far during his assignment in Montgomery. Col. Jiru recently assumed his current role as senior materiel leader/chief, Enterprise Logistics Systems Division, Business and Enterprise Systems. The chapter welcomes the new leadership and looks forward to engaging with them in upcoming events.
