ROMNEY TAPS TWO NEW MASS MARITIME ACADEMY TRUSTEES

 

 

Governor Mitt Romney today named two distinguished professionals to the Massachusetts Maritime Academy Board of Trustees. They are William F. Sinnott, a Colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, and Jimmy Dishner, a retired United States Air Force Brigadier General.

 

The 11-member board of trustees oversees the operations of the nation’s oldest maritime college. The appointments are for five-year terms.

 

Sinnott, 47, was an Assistant United States Attorney for 11 years in Boston before entering the private practice of law in 2001. He prosecuted hundreds of cases involving narcotics, gangs, organized crime, weapons and money laundering violators. His Marine Corps Reserve career has featured assignments in the United States, Norway, Greece, the United Kingdom, Spain and Korea. In June of 2004, he was called to active duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Sinnott is a graduate of Holy Cross College and Suffolk University Law School.

 

Sinnott replaces trustee Joaquim Nobrega, whose term has expired.

 

Dishner, 66, was a member of the Senior Executive Service, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Logistics. He worked at the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod until retiring in 2003. He is a 1960 graduate of The Citadel, and holds a master of engineering degree from Texas A&M University. As a member of the Air Force Reserve, he was called to active duty during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. He retired from the Air Force Reserve with the rank of brigadier general in 1994.

 

Dishner replaces trustee Paul McNally, whose term has also expired.
