Boeing nominates Nikki Haley for election to the board of directors

Boeing announced Tuesday the nomination of former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, who is also a former governor of South Carolina for election to the company's board of directors, CNBC reported.
Haley served as ambassador to the U.N. under President Donald Trump from January 2017 until December, when she resigned.
‘It's an honor to have the opportunity to contribute to Boeing's continued success as a cutting edge industry leader and a great American company,’ Haley said in a statement.
Boeing Chairman and CEO Dennis Muilenburg welcomed her nomination, saying in a statement that ‘Haley brings to Boeing an outstanding record of achievement in government, industry partnership, and successfully driving economic prosperity.’
As South Carolina's governor, Haley in 2013 helped Boeing establish new facilities in the state — most notably the company's 787 Dreamliner aircraft manufacturing complex. Boeing had nearly 7,000 employees and contractors in South Carolina as of last year.
In her October resignation letter, Haley said she would be taking a "step up" into the private sector after leaving the U.N. Since then, Haley is quoting $200,000 for domestic speaking engagements, CNBC reported in January.
