international chapters..What does U.S. stand for

[SamKellner]

On the agenda for Fall BOD meeting.

They already added foreign members in with Reg 11, last year. That waters down our vote, although M. Forbes denied that would happen.

Now, if there is a "member" vote, doubtful , on allowing foreign Chapters, it appears the existing foreign ushpa members would vote.

They already added foreign members in with Reg 11, last year. That waters down our vote, although M. Forbes denied that would happen.

So much for the credibility of Mark Forbes.   

Now, if there is a "member" vote, doubtful , on allowing foreign Chapters, it appears the existing foreign ushpa members would vote.

USHPA has lost sight of being a membership organization for hang gliding in the US. They serve the special interests of the board members (USHPA insiders) and they work to keep everyone else out. Hang gliding has always been strong in the US, but paragliding is growing stronger internationally. USHPA is growing beyond the "US" because they want to tap into the larger worldwide paragliding market. The hand writing for hang gliding is on the wall.
