The USPA board met at Lake of the Ozarks last Thursday through Sunday. It was beautiful fall weather, and we had the wonderful opportunity to enjoy the lovely colors and a touch of changing weather. VP Candy Stewart put this meeting together, and we thank her for a convenient location and plenty of enjoyable local activities. (Ask Secretary Pam Uslan if she enjoyed the Haunted Hotel!)
There was also a special members’ meeting conducted to consider a bylaws change to reduce the number of required board meetings from four to three per year. This change was approved.
VP for Meetings Bob Worthington reported on the March 12-15, 2009, meeting he’s working on which will be held in Tyler, TX, in conjunction with an aviation museum and local schools. The meeting after that will be in Branson, MO, May 7-10, co-oping with the annual meeting of the Missouri Pilots Association, featuring an air show at the opening of the Branson Airport.
Please remember that all USPA members (including state affiliated members) are welcome and heartily invited to attend the USPA board meetings. The meetings are not just for board members.
Nominating Committee Chairman Paul Hough requests hearing from any members who are interested in officer or committee positions on the USPA board. Please contact Paul at jan@uspilots.org or at 417 338-2225.
