Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma learned on Friday, Nov. 8, 2013 that Alan Bonner, Lt. Col. USAF (Ret.), National Executive Director, has been arrested in a larger action by the Stillwater Police Department. Effective immediately, both organizations have placed Col. Bonner on paid leave as we allow the legal process to take its course, and expect to cooperate fully with all aspects of any upcoming investigations.
The organizations are committed to take actions that are in congruence with our personnel policies, and look forward to the resolution of the issues at hand.
The organizations have appointed Diana Spiva, a longtime member of the National Headquarters staff, Interim Executive Director pending the outcome of these investigations.
Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma are each committed to the advancement of college bands, and our work on behalf of students and directors continues fully.
