Call for Nominations
2014 Regional Director Elections
USHPA is soliciting nominations for regional directors, for the 2015-2016 term of office. The currently-serving directors are listed below, and each of them is a candidate for re-election. They are already on the ballot; you don't need to nominate them again. We are interested in having other members bring their skills and experience to the board, so if you'd like to run for office, you're welcome to put your name down as a candidate.
The easiest way to do this is to complete the online nomination form.
If you're nominating someone else, please check with them first to make sure they're interested, and willing to run for the position and accept the responsibility.
The current regional directors whose terms end this year are:
Reg 1: Rich Hass
Reg 2: Jugdeep Aggarwal
Reg 3: Dan DeWeese
Reg 4: Bill Belcourt
Reg 5: no election this year
Reg 6: no election this year
Reg 7: Paul Olson
Reg 8: Michael Holmes
Reg 9: Felipe Amunategui
Reg 10: Steve Kroop
Reg 11: no election this year
Reg 12: Paul Voight
Regional directors serve two year terms, so in regions where there is only one director there's an election every other year.
The election starts in November and runs until mid-December. To meet magazine deadlines for candidate statements, we need to have nominations in by mid-August, and candidate statements by early September.
If you have questions about the job of regional director, the responsibilities that go with it, or the election in general, feel free to send me email.

I submitted my own name this morning, and I encourage pilots from all regions (including my own) to run for office so we can fix this dysfunctional organization.
