Evening Region 17 and friends.

I wanted to take a moment and thank the outgoing Region Administration for their awesome with over the last few years. Thank you Col Alice Nightbird for stepping up to be our Vice Regional Coordinator and helping the Region these last few years. Thank you Commodore Laure McFarland for not only stepping up to help the Region these last few years, but also being a great voice for all the membership during this past administration.

I am happy to step back into serving the Region as Regional Coordinator once again. I am also happy to announce that Laurie has agreed to stay on as Vice Regional Coordinator, thank you!

My first AB meeting and last for the Nottage/Case administration is just a few weeks away. I will of course pass along any information that might be relevant. Based on past experience. most of this meeting will be prepping for the Case/Sams administration coming into office.

I will keep you all up to date as things happen.

Next Event

July 19th, 11am EDT
“Flagship Species: How Cheetah Conservation Drives Biodiversity”.
Speaker: Owen Swart.

This talk explores how focusing conservation efforts on a single species can drive broader ecological benefits, from habitat protection to public education and fundraising. By protecting cheetahs, we safeguard entire ecosystems—demonstrating that saving one species can mean saving many.

Admiral Owen Swart is a lifelong Star Trek scholar and a dedicated advocate for biodiversity and wildlife conservation. He works hands-on in cheetah conservation, focusing on ambassador animals, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, and public education. Inspired by Star Trek’s vision of cooperation and sustainability, he applies these principles to protecting endangered species and promoting coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Charismatic megafauna like cheetahs capture the public’s imagination, making them powerful ambassadors for biodiversity.

From the Inspector General STARFLEET -

The results of the 2022 CS Election have been announced by the incumbent Commander STARFLEET. Congratulations to David Nottage as the CS Elect and Ryan Case as the VCS Elect. I want to take this opportunity to thank the rest of the candidates for their participation and willingness to serve the fleet. Also the resolution voted on passed so we will be adding a new position to the Executive Committee.

I am enclosing in this message a copy of the election results which include how each off the candidates faired along with the percentage of voters and results of the resolution voted on.
Finally I will be putting together an after action review. If you as a member wish to provide me input on how we can do better in regards to the election, please send me an email at [email protected]. Deadline for submitting input to me for the after-action review is December 10, 2022.

Live long and prosper,
RADM Stephen Stott
