WASHINGTON – North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer is being appointed to a board at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune appointed Cramer to the Academy’s Board of Visitors.
The Board of Visitors offers advice and recommendations on USAFA operations, including morale and discipline, curriculum and instruction, academic methods, facilities, and fiscal affairs. Cramer’s representation is unique as North Dakota has two Air Force bases – one in Grand Forks and the other in Minot.
“It’s an honor to be appointed as a member of the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Board of Visitors,” said Cramer, who has an advanced degree from the University of Mary in Bismarck and serves on its Board of Trustees. “Our nation’s service academies train future officers to operate in any environment, and their commitment to excellence is what ensures the U.S. Air Force remains the greatest fighting force in the world. I look forward to working with fellow Board members to train and educate leaders who are prepared to meet today’s threats and excited to tackle tomorrow’s challenges.”
