December 30, 2009 (FinancialWire) — EMS Technologies (NASDAQ: ELMG) said that its board of directors has appointed John B. Mowell, chairman of the board, to the additional position of Executive director.

According to EMS, the appointment responds to requirements of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual with respect to the senior management of companies that perform classified U.S. government work, and was necessary to maintain the company’s Facility Clearance License for its defense and space division.

To hold the Facility Clearance License, the company is required to have as its most-senior management official an individual who holds a U.S. security clearance. While EMS’ recently elected president and CEO, Neilson A. Mackay, holds a NATO clearance, he is currently a Canadian citizen and thus is not eligible for a U.S. clearance until he completes the process, currently underway, of becoming a U.S. citizen.

EMS Technologies is a provider of wireless connectivity solutions over satellite and terrestrial networks.
