Jennifer Homendy has presided over many high-profile events at NTSB, including the agency's probe into mental health issues.

The U.S. Senate last night confirmed a three-year extension of Jennifer Homendy’s term as chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). This approval, by voice vote, comes two months after President Joe Biden nominated Homendy for the extended term.

Homendy joined the NTSB in August 2018 and took over as chair in 2021, succeeding Robert Sumwalt, who stepped down after serving on the Board for 15 years.
