SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  The director of Air Force Services was recently inducted into the Boys and Girls Clubs of America Hall of Fame.

Arthur J. Myers, a Boys Club member in his native state of New Jersey, was nominated and selected for his public service and excellence in Air Force Services.

The hall of fame induction recognizes former members who have gone on to make major contributions in their respective fields, from sports and entertainment to business, medicine and the military.

"We are extremely proud of our alumni who have gone on to achieve great things," said Roxanne Spillett, Boys and Girls Clubs of America president. "Their stories are very different, but all start out the same -- with life-changing programs, caring and attentive staff, and the fun and safety of a local Boys and Girls Club."

Along with his induction, Mr. Myers was also recognized as a 2004 recipient of a Meritorious Executive Presidential Rank Award.

"I'm greatly honored to have received these prestigious awards,” Mr. Myers said. “When I reflect on their common theme -- major contributions fueled by exceptional performance -- I know this highlights the hard work, dedication and professionalism of every person in the services family. I am very proud of their outstanding support to our warfighting commanders and our Air Force community. I am honored to be a member of the Air Force services team."

Mr. Myers, who served 20 years on active duty in the Air Force, has been director of Air Force Services since January 1998.
