History

In Feb 1987, former Langley employees & the Office of External Affairs (Gary Price) established a Langley Research Center Alumni Assn. which led to LAA.

Acting Chair of the Board of Directors was William J. Boyer.  Committees & Chairs were: Finance, Edmund A. Brummer; Membership, Domenic J. Maglieri; Nominating, Charles B. King; Program, Donald H. Ward & Social, Abraham Leiss. Betty Joyner was acting secretary/treasurer. These officers served ’til Jan. 1988 when a new Board was elected at the Annual members meeting..

LAA’s Purpose: Develop, maintain & enhance the strong relationship among former LaRC employees, a way for LaRC to link with former employees & for members to support LaRC special events & activities of mutual interest.

Former NACA/NASA employees & contractors with 5+ years continuous service are eligible to join LAA. The dues were $5/year (now $10).

The LAA is an active alumni organization with strong NASA LaRC support. LaRC’s external affairs office & Director’s Office are key to LAA’s success.
