Leatherstocking Honor Flight Announces New Leadership
Ashley Delaney Elected President; Greg Furlong Named Director of Community Engagement and Immediate Past President
Cobleskill, NY — Leatherstocking Honor Flight is proud to announce the election of Ashley Delaney as President of the organization. Ashley, a dedicated advocate for veterans with extensive leadership and nonprofit experience, steps into the role with a strong commitment to honoring our nation's heroes through memorable and meaningful Honor Flight experiences.
Ashley succeeds Greg Furlong, who has served with distinction as President. Under Greg’s leadership, the organization continued to grow its impact across the region, successfully organizing numerous missions to Washington, D.C. for veterans of WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and other conflicts.
Greg will remain actively involved with the organization, now serving as Director of Community Engagement and assuming the role of Immediate Past President, where he will continue to support Leatherstocking Honor Flight’s mission and provide guidance during this leadership transition.
“I’m honored to lead this incredible organization and build on the strong foundation Greg and the Board have established,” said Delaney. “It’s a privilege to serve those who have served our country, and I look forward to working with our volunteers and partners to continue providing these unforgettable journeys to our veterans.”
Leatherstocking Honor Flight remains committed to honoring America’s veterans by transporting them to Washington, D.C., to visit the memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice—at no cost to the veterans.
