Seeking Nominations for BASH WG Co-chair.
Interested? Please send your name, title, picture and short bio to include background and experiences and why you should be the next BASH WG Co-Chair for NMFWA to grant.harter@navy.mil or Amy.m.reed@faa.gov NLT January 5, 2021. Please include: BASH WG Co-Chair Nominee for your Email Subject line.
Effective March 2021 (at the next NMFWA virtual conference) Grant’s two year term will end as Co-Chair. Amy is also stepping down as Co-Chair due to a new position she accepted with the FAA (congratulations Amy!) that cuts her ties with the military side of BASH and has presented her with new challenges and obligations thus focusing her attention away from NMFWA.
Upon receipt of nominations in January a vote will be had among BASH WG members to select two new Co-Chairs and be announced at the NMFWA conference in March 2021.
*Note: in the event 2 Co-chairs are not selected, Grant is willing to stay on an extra term until the position(s) can be filled.

Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) has been an issue on both military and civilian airfields during low-level approach and departures for many years. The presence of birds that contribute to BASH problems results from a complex array of interactions among their primary life-history needs-- food, cover, and/or presence of water. Despite significant improvements in BASH programs on DoD installations, bird and wildlife strikes continue to be a source of military aircraft damage as well as a threat to aircrew safety and mission readiness activities.
The BASH Working Group strives to work with military and civilian personnel within DoD to transfer ideas and new technology, share ideas, and work synergistically to promote improved flight safety. The goals of the NMFWA BASH Working Group are to:
