Mr. Douglas Swoish has served in the EW/IO arena since 1979. Mr. Swoish is currently an EWP IPT Program Director in Industry and working on many systems, the EA-6B ICAP III, EA-18G, and future others. In the past Mr. Swoish has had 3 EW/IO military commands: (EA-6B) Electronic Attack Wing US Pacific Fleet; CO, Electronic Attack Squadron 129; and CO, Electronic Attack Squadron 138, while also working many EW/IO issues at the Pentagon.

As an AOC BoD member these last few years, Mr. Swoish is happy to see the progress of a stable AOC membership, after a decade of decline. 2004 had a 1% increase!!! Similarly, his chapter (NYC Metro Club) had a 50 person/20% growth! Also as a BoD, he lead an initiative to hold annual small EW/IO classified symposia (2003 Oberammergau, 2004 London) and they were successful in both attendance and receipts.

As Mr. Swoish looks forward to an opportunity for another term as a Regular Director, the AOC faces many challenges.. One – Mission, the AOC needs to look at themselves strategically, are they prepared for the "DoD Transformation," Two – Membership – is the AOC serving you the membership, Three - how can the AOC increase their numbers?
