A University of Arizona assistant dean has been named president of the DM50, a nonprofit, volunteer group that advocates for Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and its airmen.
Bob Logan, assistant dean for external and corporate relations at the UA College of Science, replaces real estate broker Brian Harpel to serve a two-year term as DM50 president.
Others selected as officers of the DM50 board are: OK Rihl, vice president; Carla Keegan, treasurer; and Michael Franks, secretary.
Rihl is development manager of Crown West Realty; Keegan is president of the accounting firm of Keegan, Linscott & Kenon; and Franks is owner and principal in Seaver Franks Architects.
The DM50, which has no formal ties to the base, was founded in 1986 by a diverse group of Tucson civic and business leaders.
The group has raised more than $1.5 million for initiatives to improve the quality of life for military personnel at D-M and to protect the future of the base and expand its missions.
