USS Montana Committee’s New Leadership Members (posted 10/11/24)
As the USS Montana Committee continues its transition to long-term support of SSN 794 and her crew members, the Committee also continues to plan for succession and bring aboard new members of its leadership team.
Recently Ron Davis of Butte was elected by the USSMTC Steering Group as the new Committee Chairman.
Ron, a well-recognized Montana Broadcaster, is also an experienced local and statewide nonprofit leader who has been an active member of the Steering Group for a number of years. In addition to planning and implementing SSN 794 crew visits in the Butte area and much of southwestern Montana, he and his wife Shelly were key to making participation of Montanans at the commissioning of the USS MONTANA in Norfolk, Virginia such a success.
Paul Guest of Bozeman, also an active Steering Group member (and provider of the beautiful Glacier National Park wrap in the MONTANA’s crew mess), was elected as Vice Chairman.
Bill Whitsitt moves to the past or Founding Chairman role in which he’ll help with new-generation transition and anything else the new leadership requests.
Also, elected as new members of the Steering Group were Gerald Gray of Helena and Greg Simon of Plentywood.
Congrats to all!
