Chapter Marks Three Milestones

At the June chapter meeting, three key events were recognized. Firstly, Chris Yorke, AFCEA regional vice president for Western Europe, presented the chapter with its Model Chapter 2019 banner and the 30th Anniversary Certificate of Recognition, which is a great tribute to both the members and chapter management team. Finally, and most importantly, it was time to say thank you-but not goodbye-to John Kirby, who was handing over as the chapter president after 12 years of service. Kirby has been an absolute stalwart in leading the chapter for all these years and in that time, he has only missed two meetings, which is quite an achievement. As any chapter president knows, Kirby has had his challenges in managing and maintaining momentum for what is only a small chapter, but he managed to find fantastic speakers from the technology base all around the west of England. Kirby now passes the baton over to Ian Buchanan, who has a tough act to follow but will be supported by the great team that Kirby has put in place.
