2018 Board of Directors Election
SBEA Annual Board of Directors Election
Voting is one of the most important responsibilities you have not only as a U.S. citizen but also as a member of an association. It’s your chance to select leaders who understand serving on the Board offers an opportunity to play a direct role in determining an organization’s overall direction and impact. The Spirit Boeing Employees’ Association will hold its annual Election of Directors November 5 – 9. 2 positions on the Board of Directors will be filled in the election. Each winning candidate will serve a 3 year term. The ballots will be delivered to your Spirit mail stop by Nov. 5. We want to remind and urge all Spirit and Boeing members to vote and return your completed ballot no later than Friday November 9.

Eugenia Moffitt
I want to be on the Board of Directors because I want to share the holidays of other diverse cultures in the SBEA community to the same people we work side-by-side with everyday. I want to demonstrate how people from different experiences in life can find different solutions to solve problems. I find the efforts of the Spirit Aerosystems Global Diversity group sponsored at corporate level too far removed and unrelatable to the everyday employee.
