“Tom supported the mission of the Space Foundation with deep conviction and through leadership by example, serving at many public and private venues as a speaker, moderator, presenter, and facilitator,” said Space Foundation Chief Executive Officer Elliot Pulham. “We are grateful for the the significant time and resources he has contributed toward the success of the Space Foundation.”
A resolution presented to Moorman at the Space Foundation’s annual Board meeting in January lauded the outgoing chairman for his career contributions to the advancement of space and his high-profile participation in important, space-related national endeavors – such as his role on the Commission to Assess United States National Security Space Management and Organization – which have advanced the mission of the Space Foundation while affording the organization greater visibility on the national and international stage.
