The EAA Board had its Fall meeting yesterday. Among the items discussed,
we agreed on the next 5 years of the site development plan and
authorized money for this coming year which will build another rest room
facility near Theater in the Woods and Vintage cafe, enhance the entry
gates and start work on a new Homebuilt Village. We're going to tear
down the decrepit hangers across from the homebuilt headquarters (where
the "Federal Pavilion" and "Innovation" hangers are), remove all the
pavement, plant grass and that whole area will be where the homebuilt
exhibitors are. Homebuilt Village won't be done for this coming year but
should be for the following.
We also voted to not allow chalets on the flight line. The Aviators Club
will remain as it's proven very popular with the members.
We had a lively discussion about Sport Aviation and agreed it needs more
homebuilt content. The Homebuilt Council had a 90 minute one-on-one with
Mac about it.
There is a sub-committee working on a bunch of bylaw rewording, mostly
because the current bylaws are out of date, but also to include some
governance changes. Revamping the proxy system is also still in the
works. We agreed to set the size of the Board at 21 Class I (elected by
the members) Director--3 groups of 7 who get elected for a 3 year term.
There are 9 Class II Directors--heads of the divisions (Warbirds,
Vintage, Homebuilt Council, etc.) and the EAA President. And up to 11
Class III Directors, appointed by the Board for a 1 year term. The Bylaw
changes will be voted on at the next Annual Meeting at AirVenture.
The issue of member access to Board minutes is on the table and being
worked on. When they're available I'll let you know. There is a project
to consolidate and simplify EAA's 23(!) different web sites.
With all the staff changes, the museum has gotten short shrift of the
past couple years and that will be an area of renewed focus. A
sub-committee will be putting together a plan for our Spring meeting.
Frank Christensen's Christen Eagle II, serial number 1 is now hanging in
a place of honor in the aerobatics area of the museum. It's a very nice
display.
Finally, Jack Pelton continues to volunteer his time to guide the
organization until we can hire a new president. That process hasn't
started yet, but will shortly.

Missed it because I was trying to figure out how to spell decrepit. Besides, I'm not from Yale. I just work there. <g>

Rick;
Thank you for the update and status of the EAA Board. Good to see that Sport Aviation is being rebuilt to focus more on Experimental and moving away from Mac’s flying focus on certified.
Great review, thank you for the time to cover the details.
Regardless of some typo, which I completely missed, I sure appreciate it!
thx
