Well isn't that nice. Now USHPA is data mining its members.
Where's the question about whether votes by Directors on the Board should be reported to members - so we can see who's voting for all this garbage? Where's the question about what USHPA can do to support its local pilots and chapters? Where's the question about what USHPA can do to grow the sport of hang gliding? Where are a dozen other questions about how USHPA can better serve its members?
The only thing this survey proves is that USHPA has become a business, and it sees its members as their property. I guess it's time to harvest a little information from us to pay this years' travel expenses for the Board of Directors.
Yet they call it a "Member Benefit Questionnaire"!! Who are they kidding?
