"Endorsement of ADM Ryan Case & ADM Richard Sams As my tenure as Commander, STARFLEET comes to its close, I have had the privilege of working closely with ADM Ryan Case as Vice-Commander, STARFLEET. Ryan has served this organization with a single-minded commitment to do what he felt was best for our membership. His ability to absorb information, weigh perspectives, and act in the best interests of STARFLEET has been invaluable to the success of our administration. I am equally encouraged by his partnership with ADM Richard Sams. Together, they have crafted a clear and forward-looking vision that not only builds on the work of the past but also pushes STARFLEET toward the growth and engagement we all want to see. Their “Forward Together” platform is more than just words; it reflects the values that Ryan has espoused since we ran together along with practical action that I know this organization needs. I can say with confidence that Ryan and Richard have the skill, drive, and heart to lead STARFLEET into its next chapter. I urge every member to give them your full support in this election and to join me in endorsing their candidacy. Respectfully, Fleet Admiral David Nottage Commander, STARFLEET"
"Together, Ryan and Richard bring a multitude of STARFLEET experience across chapters, regions, and fleet-level leadership. They are dedicated to supporting our members, empowering chapter growth, and honoring STARFLEET’s legacy while leading us boldly into the future."
"The Alba is supporting the Case/Sams team because there is a chance for real change at the top and we think that this team has what is needed to bring change. There has been too much not changing for years, this team says all the right things and brings hope that there can be a new era for SFI that brings everyone together."
"The reason I am supporting the ticket is that I have been a member for many years and met Ryan the first time at IC. I found him to be extremely dedicated to the organization and very approachable. I worked with Richard in Member Services, and he was always a spot-on team member."
"I met Ryan at R2 summits years ago and know that he loves Star Trek, STARFLEET, and likes to have fun."
"I support Case/Sams because I believe they'll continue the stable path STARFLEET is on. In a volunteer organization, you have to want the job to excel at it. And it is clear they want the jobs - this was evident with the preparation that went into their run. I look forward to the next 3 years under their leadership."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Richard for the last few years and feel that having an International feel with the command staff shows how truly together we can be. Plus the fact of Ryan being VCS gives him a shot at closing things he may have in the pipeline."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Ryan on numerous projects, including multiple ICs and VICs. In my capacity as an Auxiliary Director, I also had the opportunity to report directly to him, which gave me a firsthand look at his leadership style and vision. These experiences have shown me that Ryan is not only a capable leader but also a forward-thinking individual [who] has the best interests of the fleet at heart and would be an excellent choice for CS."
