2025 - 2026 Officers Elected

At the recent 2025 NWTA Convention held in Albuquerque the offices of President, Treasurer and Secretary were up for election.

"Tosh" Owens was nominated and elected to her second full term as President.    Both Janice Miller and Neil Zampella were renominated for the positions of Secretary and Treasurer respectively.   

The Executive Committee for 2025 - 2026 is now composed of:

Ligaya "Tosh" Owens - President
Walt Sudol - Vice President
Neil Zampella - Treasurer
Janice Miller - Secretary.

 

As we did not have a 'departing' President or Vice President, Steven T. Smith was elected as Trustee to the class of 2028

2026 Convention Survey Results

We sent out an email requesting that members visit the website to fill out our 2026 Convention Location survey.    We had originally started with 7 locations, and based on convention costs, room rate, and travel costs, we whittled them down to 4.

We thank all those who took the time to give us their preferences, and based on those results, our convention location for 2026 will be Eglin AFB/Ft Walton Beach FL, on the 24th thru 26th of September 2026.  As many of you know, Eglin is the home of the USAF Armament Center, and the USAF Armament Museum.    

We'll have more details about the fees and schedule in the coming months.   We hope to see you there.

Newsflash

To Absent Friends ....

The Fallen page has been updated for the notices we've received up to November 13, 2025.  Again, we thank Mark Sadler for finding these 'lost' 463s.

We often do not find out about fellow nuke pukes passing until months or years later.   Please let us know no matter when they passed on, as this information may assist those looking to get in touch with someone and not knowing they're no longer here.     An example of this is that we just found out that CMS Grady Hunt passed in May 2025.

The NWTA wishes to honor all Nuclear Weapons Technicians who have passed by adding their names to The Fallen page.   They do not need to be members of the NWTA to be so honored.   Please pass any notifications on to the This email address is being protected from spambots.
