The Mid-Atlantic Aerospace Complex, the Harrison-Marion Regional Airport's marketing and development arm, named a new set of executives during its annual election that was held Wednesday.

Richard T. Detrio, MAAC's president for the past six years, stepped down from the position. He will, however, remain on MAAC's board of directors. Detrio's position won't exactly be filled. As part of MAAC's efforts to redo its bylaws and restructure its hierarchy, the majority of Detrio's former duties will be handled by a chairman of the board.

Named to be the MAAC's initial chairman is Dr. Dan Bradley. Bradley is the president of Fairmont State College and has been in the area since February of 2001.

Buddy B. Clark was chosen as vice chairman. Clark is the plant manager with Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Co.'s subassembly plant in Clarksburg.

The secretary is Chuck Koukoulis. Koukoulis is the president of KCI Aviation.

Dale McBride of FMW Composite Systems Inc., was selected as the treasurer. McBride is FMW's president.

Jim Skidmore, who is MAAC's executive director, was named president and chief executive officer. This is Skidmore's second term as president, as he previously served from 1990 through 1995.

"The restructuring is simply a way to prepare MAAC for the future," said MAAC's director of training Terry Moore.
