The chapter held its largest luncheon of the year in September. More than 250 attendees came to hear Col. Kenneth J. Moran, USAF, program executive officer for both the Expeditionary Combat Support System (ECSS) and Logistics Information Technology Systems at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The colonel oversees all aspects of program execution and more than 100 legacy logistics information systems. During his presentation, Col. Moran highlighted the redirection of the ECSS in supply and wholesale arenas, the challenges ahead for legacy data cleanup and the goal to reduce shrink loss. The new system is scheduled for implementation in 2010. Chief Master Sgt. John L. Hoffman Jr., USAF, command chief for the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center and 88th Air Base Wing, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, presented nine awards to local companies that donated tickets to noncommissioned officers for the Dayton Dragons minor-league baseball games.
