VATSIM Board of Governors appoints new Vice President, Americas

[Tim Barber]

The VATSIM Board of Governors is pleased to announce that Manuel Manigault has been selected as the new Vice President – Americas.

Manuel has been a part of the VATSIM community for the past 16 years and has volunteered in many roles, most recently as the VATUSA Division Director since 2020.  He lives in the Rocky Mountain Region of the United States and in his free time enjoys playing piano, hiking and cycling.

Please join us in welcoming Manuel to his new role!

With this appointment, the Board of Governors says goodbye to Federico Navarro.  Fed joined the VATSIM Board of Governors in October of 2020 as Vice President, Americas, and prior to that he represented South America on the VATSIM Executive Committee.  Many thanks to Fed for volunteering to stay in his role until a successor was appointed, and we wish him all the best in the future.
