EAA Board of Directors

Thanks to the 300+ of you all that put your ink signature on the line and
nominated me for the EAA Board of Directors. I'm on the ballot.

Here's the reality. There will be 300 to 500 members at the meeting on the
Saturday of Oshkosh week to elect the new directors. The EAA holds some
35,000 proxies at the same meeting. Guess who gets to pick the new
directors?

Here is what I am going to ask you to do. In mid-July, just before Oshkosh
week I'm going to give you an email list of the EAA Board members and
Executive Board who hold those proxies. I'm going to request that you to
tell them to vote me onto the board.

No hassle. Email and nothing more.

Talk to you in July about it...

And THANKS FOR THE NOMINATIONS...

Jim

JIm, Would you care to elaborate on why you want to be nominated and
what your vision is for the EAA?
Thanks, Jon Ladd

You will need much more than one board member to do that. So who else
in r.a.x who is an EAA member is willing to step forward?

Good plan Jim, I'll look out for your post in July.

I'll be happy to do that in text in this newsgroup in July when I ask for
your emails to the current Board. I also did it in an attachment to those
who nominated me.

At this time, it would be premature.

Who can give me the source of this quotation:


"Politicians are the same the world over. They all promise to build you a
bridge where there is no river."

I googled it and the first six links I checked all attributed it to
Nikita Khrushchev.

Hmmm... Are you trying to tell us something Jim?

stolen quotes
I would add this often it is the politicians themselves who furnish the
river. and then the river ends up flooding the city.

Then I suppose they use this to "prove" the need for the bridge, and
then after the flood, promise a dam.
