Board of Directors

The Association for Enterprise Integration made a move to strengthen its position by electing top corporate representatives to its Board of Directors this year. This new Board reflects the new dynamism of the Association, and will help move it forward to establish programs that allow industry and government an opportunity to collaborate over issues relating to breaking down stove pipes and sharing information.

The Board of Directors incorporates representatives from many of America’s leading defense and technology firms. Originally established to advocate adoption of commercial standards for the exchange of data among defense logistics systems, AFEI has in recent years become a leading advocate for harnessing the power of the Internet to improve processes and organizational performance.

New AFEI board members represent firms such as Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, Lockheed Martin Naval Electronics and Surveillance, Northrop Grumman Information Technology, Raytheon Technical Services, Anteon, Rockwell Collins, and Vector SCM. These organizations, leaders in network centric operations and enterprise integration, considerably strengthen AFEI’s programs in these areas while enhancing the association’s profile on the regional and national levels.

“I’m very confident that AFEI can play an important and highly significant role in the advancement of transformation objectives and network centric operations on a national scale”, commented LtGen Carl O’Berry, USAF (Ret.), Vice President of Strategic Architectures at Boeing Integrated Defense Systems and a newly-appointed AFEI Director.

Transformational technologies and network-centric operations are fundamental to the Pentagon’s current effort to re-structure the American military in response to challenges which have emerged since the end of the Cold War.

AFEI’s new Chairman is Robert Kiggans, President and CEO of the Advanced Technology Institute. Under its new leadership, the Association for Enterprise Integration expects to play an even stronger role in providing the framework for the exchange of information among its government and industry participants, while supplying the ethical framework for industry and government networking to advance the principles of network centric, integrated enterprises.
