Congratulations!

I am pleased to announce that Alex Seeberger has been selected as the next Deputy Air Traffic Manager for ZSE! Alex comes with great real-world and VATSIM experience, currently serving as a mentor here and previously serving as the Event Coordinator at ZAN. Alex has some great ideas to keep ZSE running strong and make ZSE even better! I am excited to see what Alex has in store for ZSE.

While we are extremely lucky to have Alex step up to such an important role, he has some big shoes to fill as we say thank you to Vishaank Ghai. Vishaank served as our DATM for over a year and was instrumental in helping ZSE transition management teams and develop our own vision. Vishaank's expertise and guidance will truly be missed, he was a vital asset to our team.
