Dear Team VATUSA,
VATUSA is announcing changes to our Division’s leadership. Effective today, VATUSA’s Training Director and Deputy Training Director, Rick Rump and Austin Wilkins, have been removed from their roles. In addition, VATUSA’s Northeastern Regional Air Traffic Director, Dylan Lundberg, has been removed from their role.
Rick, Austin, and Dylan’s previous accomplishments to VATUSA are notable and have moved our Division forward. Although they are no longer on the staff team, they will continue to remain VATUSA controllers.
Until new candidates are selected, Mani Manigault has agreed to serve as the Interim Training Director and Interim Northeastern Regional Air Traffic Director.
VATUSA is excited for the future of our organization. We’re committed to finding new candidates focused on growing our membership, expanding our Division capabilities, and fostering a community centered around fun. If you’re interested in helping us take our Division to new heights, please consider applying for the Training Director or Northeastern Regional Air Traffic Director positions when those applications open.
Sincerely,
Petey Shivery
VATUSA Communications Director
