Roberta Clatterbuck
2023 Airshow Volunteers of the Year

Our Volunteers are the life blood of the California International Airshow.  Each year the Board of Directors selects one outstanding Volunteer to be recognized as the Volunteer of the Year.  In 2023 The Board selected Roberta Clatterbuck.  Roberta has been a volunteer for over 10 years starting in Performer Hospitality.  Because of her leadership skills she took over the Jet Team Liaison chairpersonship.  Being responsible for the Jet teams each year is a huge responsibility with lots of details to cover like equipment, transportation, facilities, hospitality, etc.  Roberta is a true professional and the Salinas Airshow is fortunate to have such a dedicated professional volunteer in this very important role.
