Leadership change at Mutual UFO Network
GREELEY, CO - The Mutual UFO Network's (MUFON) International Director Clifford Clift announced he was stepping down with Kentucky State Director and board member David MacDonald taking on the leadership role.
Clift said his decision was based on a need to spend more time with family.
"MUFON has come a long way in a positive direction and I'm excited to say that the Mutual UFO Network is in good hands with David," Clift said. "His level of dedication and his leadership skills will be an incredible benefit to our organization. David will be a very effective International Director for MUFON."
MacDonald is no stranger to MUFON and the organization's mission. He currently sits on MUFON's Board of Directors, is Assistant Director of Investigations, is MUFON's STAR Team Administrator, and he is the conductor of testing for new field investigators.
As a businessman over the years MacDonald has had numerous successful operations. Currently he runs a school for pilots and aircraft dispatchers. He owns and runs Flamingo Air, a charter airline.
"David MacDonald has excellent credentials within MUFON and the business world," Clift said. "David's business background and knowledge of the UFO phenomenon is very sound and successful. He brings much to the table as the new leader for MUFON."
MacDonald officially takes on the new position February 1, 2012.
"I'm excited about taking over the leadership role of MUFON and I'm looking forward to working with all the great people in the MUFON organization," MacDonald said.
MacDonald will move MUFON International Headquarters to Cincinnati, OH, where he operates Global Airline Education Center and Campus. Being centrally located, the International Headquarters will be easily accessible to many more members. Cincinnati is within a 6-hour drive for 60 percent of the population of the United States.
The location will have high visibility to pilots and many perspective new MUFON members in the aviation industry as well as increased exposure to the general public. MUFON will have room for office space, storage on site and a walk-in merchandise store.
"We ask everyone to have patience during this transition period," Clift said. "Keep your eyes on the sky and let's all welcome Mr. David MacDonald as MUFON's new International Director."
