New Executive Officers/Board Emphasize Accountability, Civility, and Bold Decision-making Following Board Elections on 3 October 2025, the new ANCC Board of Governors elected four new officers to the Executive Committee: Club Chair, Scott Border; Club President, Col Chris Marslender; V.P. Lt Col Justin J. Swick; Membership Chair COL Jon Dunne and Secretary Ken Quinn at its organizational meeting on 3 November 2025. The new group joins Executive Committee veterans Treasurer CAPT Dave Graff, Planning Chair CAPT Joe Mahan, and Finance Chair John Tuck. New Club Chair, Border, stated: “I’m humbled by the confidence the Board has placed in me and look forward to building on the superb progress that past Chair Raighne Delaney made during his long stewardship of the Club.” Following their Installation Dinner on 15 November, the new Board gathered on Saturday, 16 November. This involved a detailed orientation session with a comprehensive overview of the club’s governance structure, roles, expectations, latest data, and best practices for board members. Servant Leadership and Core Values Border noted he hoped to “usher in an emphasis on servant leadership,” urging board members to “get to know and prioritize member needs above your own.” He reminded Board members to “always keep close to our military and patriotic culture,” and “remain mindful of our need to make the Club available at moderate expense.” He noted the Board would seek to create multiple opportunities for member engagement, using surveys, town hall meetings, and one-on-one interactions. As early manifestations of doing so, the Board scheduled and held a Town Hall on 17 November on its Facilities Master Plan, soliciting comments from members on subjects ranging from proposals for the Arlington golf course renovation, the Fairfax Wing proposal, and other sports and dining capital projects. He noted that Club By-Laws require a two-thirds vote of the membership for any large-scale project to proceed, so no high-cost project (in excess of $940,000) can go forward if it’s not supported in concept, purpose and costs by the membership.
