JIM
FARMER
Jim Farmer served as an
Air Force B-52 pilot from
1969–1975. He went on to
an investment career before
retiring in 2011. The year
before his retirement, he
joined the board of The
Museum of Flight and serves
as its treasurer. What's his
advice for anyone thinking
about joining a nonprofit
board today? "Get involved,"
he says. "Join a committee
that interests you and one
to which you can add value."
Jim joined the WAC in
1976. He shares his full
insights with us online at
wac.net/JimFarmer. As for
his favorite place at the
WAC, the 6-foot-2 member
of the Club's Platinum
Division championship
men's basketball team says
that's simple: "The 8th Floor
gym—in the paint!"
