Gager joined MorganFranklin in June and has been an active member of SSPI since December 2011.

   “I am honored to be expanding my role with SSPI in this capacity, and I look forward to contributing as an adviser and functional director to strengthen the position of the organization, satellite professionals, and future leaders in the mid-Atlantic region,” Gager said in a statement. “As U.S. government satellite communications continue to evolve in response to today’s growing challenges and tight economic and budget constraints, it has never been more important to invest in education, professional development, innovation, and the next generation of satellite service providers.”
