Chi-Lai was also recognized for mentoring both YAFCEANs and senior members of the Chapter through her actions and personal leadership, always taking the time to discuss the “why” of actions and organizing her team to maximize their skills.

“We have never seen a 24-year-old assume such great responsibility and be so successful for the NOVA Chapter and for AFCEA,” said Michael Kush, Vice President of Chapter Affairs at AFCEA NOVA. “Chi-Lai is an excellent leader and her superior leadership is a daily example through our mentoring programs of YAFCEAN involvement and activity.”

Professionally, she has also presented ARRAY’s capabilities to senior military and industry leaders with distinction and has been recognized for her technical skills and knowledge. Chi-Lai created and manages ARRAY’s corporate social media efforts, and supports the company’s marketing, sales and corporate objectives.

“We are so proud of all that Chi-Lai has accomplished and the outstanding work she is doing with AFCEA,” said Sumeet Shrivastava, President of ARRAY. “Chi-Lai is an important part of the ARRAY family and we are very lucky to have such a hard working, dedicated, and well respected member of the community to represent ARRAY.”
