ATC Citation for Mr James Ward
Mr James Ward who recently stepped down from the Civilian Committee of 1406 Squadron Air Training Corps in Spalding has been awarded a Commandants Commendation in recognition of his voulentary work in June. The picture is of him receiving this from Sqn Ldr J Fortune, SengO, 41(R) TES, RAF Coningsby (the newest member of the squadrons Civilian Committee).
Mr Ward is regarded as a highly dedicated, motivated and selfless civilian volunteer who has added tremendous value to the young people of South Holland and indeed the Air Training Corps over a sustained period.
He eagerly took up the pivotal role of Chairman of the Civilian Committee shortly after joining the Committee in the Winter of 1998, a position
he filled until Spring 2010, thereafter serving a further year as Vice-Chairman.
Throughout his 13-year tenure he used his leadership skills, business acumen and ability to grasp difficult issues in order to bring about positive change, generate income through charity events and always with the primary goal of maximising the Cadet experience.
