440+ proxy votes submitted by Phil Perry at today's annual EAA meeting.
Phil successfully exercised the system, got our proxies accepted by EAA,
and clearly got the board's attention.
Rod Hightower and company claimed 27,000 proxys, which they exercised
to keep the incumbent members on the board (Phil voted for the
non-incumbents).
A few hundred folks showed up to attend the meeting, where a long line
of folks aired concerns & comments. Areas of concern included lack of
EAA governance accountability, treatment of volunteers, and the chalets.
Memorable quote regarding the fence-enclosed Chalets that took over some
former aircraft parking (and blocked the view) near show center:
"Nothing says 'you're not welcome' like a white picket fence."
Kudos to Phil for stepping up and delivering the governance message
effectively and eloquently.

Thank you. I'm happy to do it.
Currently I am in Detroit an making my way back to Houston. I'll get an update out to the group but I had a good week of meetings both with senior EAA leaders and with those supporting the Members 4 Members movement.
I learned a few things and confirmed a few things.
The good news is that we accomplished everything we wanted to do this year and actually surpassed some of our other goals.
Know that we aren't done, but we are just getting started. There is a lot of work ahead and we need all the assistance we can get in getting the message out to the membership community.
More to follow once I get back to Houston and don't have to type on a cell phone.
Have a safe trip everyone,
Phil

My assignmrnt on my work weekend in June was to build those white picket fences. Sixty 8' sections was the request from EAA. And yes, I'm PO'd about the chalets too.
I have to wonder if all the empty space in C hangar and the influx of trinket sellers into these hangars has something to do with the management of the event. Trinket sellers used to be banished solely to the Fly Mart.
Thanks to Phil and all who participated in the proxy drive.

Were the aisles wider in the other buildings? I looked at a couple and thought they were wider than in past years. Maybe just my imagination.

I don't think the aisles were any bigger. The crowds were smaller so the aisles looked bigger. Pretty thin crowd on Friday. Actually kind of nice for us but bad for the event.

I am waiting for the follow up post from Phill. Kuddos for your effort. I regret that I did not get my proxy to you, I will do better next year with a bunch of proxys. This is an important effort. EAA is an awesome organization, but it must be governed from the grass roots. Paul & Tom did a pretty good job and R.H. obviously wants to put his stamp on the operation, provided that it is not stamping on our fingers. Lets keep the pressure up and it will have an effect. R.H. and the board need to know where their power derives from!
AOPA is hopeless, but EAA is a different bird, and we can direct it's course.
