Venting...

[Richard Hays]

Though I'd share the USHGA response with everyone. Better yet; take the
email address down from our Region 9 director and begin to voice your own
opinion like I did. Inaction could lead to our unique sport fading away
forever.....being replaced by an AOPA type of governing body with hang
GLIDING as a mere curiosity to the majority group.

>Jayne forwarded me your email. I appreciate your concern and frustration.
>This has been a very frustrating and taxing exercise with a great potential
>for divisiveness at a time that unity is most essential. I want to invite
>you to be as active as you can getting your point across.

>Most importantly, I want to invite your efforts and that of other
>like-minded pilots in the region to VOTE and to get involved at the board
>of directors level. I can assure you that the entire Executive Committee
>and most of the BOD members want to do what the majority of members want to
>do. Personally, I try my best to keep my personal opinions on this matter
>from getting in the way of what I have to do for the mebers that elected
>me. It matters to me that anything the EC or the BOD do represents the real
>wish of the majority, not of minorities with special interests. At this
>time there are two vocal groups but no majority. Only a vote can help to
>clarify the situation.

>Please feel free to vent directly to me any time. Also, it would be great
>if you or other concerned pilots became more involved at the board level.
