Dear WNA Members,

It is with humility and gratitude that I accept the position of Executive Director of World Net Associates, effective April 1, 2024.

Knowingly, I have some big shoes to fill, but I have promised Pat that I will do my best to continue the excellent job that he has been performing for the past 20 + years. 

To be very honest, when Pat approached me to ask if there was any interest in the job, I was surprised by the timing, having retired from Corrigan Air & Sea Cargo just a few months ago.  However, the chance to again work with so many long-time friends and colleagues really appealed to me, and so, here we are!

I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to, and to grow, this excellent organization.  I ask for your support during this transition period and welcome your questions and comments.

I’m also excited to host the Annual Conference taking place in Long Beach, CA in October, beginning with the Welcoming Reception on Sunday evening, October 6, 2024 and ending mid-day on Wednesday, October 9, 2024.

Please mark your calendars and registration forms will be available on the WNA Website in the coming days.

I’m looking forward to seeing all of you again!

With kind regards,

Richard W. Nagrocki

Executive Director
