(La Plata, MD) – Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. (PHWFF) is honored to announce their new Chair of its Board of Trustees, Ken Asbury.

“It’s a great honor to be part of an organization that plays such an important role in ensuring the health and well-being of our Nation’s disabled veterans and disabled active duty military personnel,” said Asbury, who is the former President & CEO of CACI International Inc. “My journey with Project Healing Waters over the past decade has been truly inspiring. I look forward to this new chapter as we continue to heal those who serve.”

Ken Asbury epitomizes all the elements that define an exceptional leader and PHWFF supporter.  His long-term dedication and commitment to the organization achieved many enduring positive impacts on the organization’s volunteers and participants.

Mr. Asbury’s passion for serving wounded and disabled veterans and military service members, through PHWFF, is without question.  This passion carries over in his past leadership duties for CACI International, Inc., where he was a champion of hiring veterans and veterans with disabilities – recognizing their talent, character, and dedication to deliver quality support to the workforce.

During his tenure at CACI, Arctic Slope Federal Holding Company and a long career at Lockheed Martin, Mr. Asbury made business development and program delivery his top priorities, resulting in consistently strong contract awards and a vigorous focus on strategic campaigns to capture large and complex projects.
