President Donald Trump appointed Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk to the US Air Force Academy Board of Visitors, filling the vacancy left on the board by the passing of Charlie Kirk who was appointed to the board last March.
“President Trump made the perfect choice in appointing Erika Kirk to the U.S. Air Force Academy Board of Visitors,” White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales stated to Fox News Digital concerning Kirk’s appointment. “Charlie Kirk served proudly on the board, inspiring not only the next generation of servicemembers, but millions around the world with his bold Christian faith, defense of the truth, and deep love of country. Erika Kirk will continue his legacy, and will be a fearless advocate for the most elite airpower force in the history of the world whose warriors keep our Nation safe, strong, and free.”
Board Chair August Pfluger finds the appointment encouraging, and the most appropriate way to fill the vacancy left by the late Charlie Kirk.
“I encouraged this appointment as Erika is the right person to fill Charlie’s place on the board and continue his work of inspiring the next generation of service members and advancing the Academy,” Pfluger said to Fox News. “I look forward to working alongside her to carry on Charlie’s legacy.”
Erika Kirk will continue operating as a full-time CEO of TPUSA while performing duties for the Air Force Academy Board of Visitors.
