More Reorganization At Sun ‘n Fun

Posted on July 30, 2012 by mwflyer

LAKELAND, FLA. – SUN ‘n FUN Fly-In, Inc., has consolidated all operations and staff – including the Florida Air Museum (FAM) – under the auspices of SUN ‘n FUN and its President and CEO, John “Lites” Leenhouts. While FAM will retain its 501(c)3 status for development and fundraising purposes, the day-to-day operations will be absorbed into the SUN ‘n FUN organization. The new structure eliminates the need for two presidents. As a result, FAM President John Burton has announced he will be stepping down as part of the transition process. Burton led the two organizations since 1999, and was vice president of communications with the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, prior to that.
