“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.
