    Gladys Brown, the Airport Director explained how this upcoming year (2025), the YCAA has four vacancies; 2nd Vice President Russell Jones as a result of term limits with a total of nine years, and three incumbents who are up for re-election, President Bill Craft, Treasure Stanley Gourley and Director Ken Scott who have all expressed their desire to be placed on the ballot for consideration. Ms. Brown pointed out that if the three incumbents are successfully reelected, there will be one additional seat to be filled. Ms. Brown further indicated that the Committee had received five (5) new applicants.

    The Committee reviewed the applications and found all five new applicants were qualified and had no obvious conflicts of interest. The Committee stated it would be wonderful to see someone actively involved in General Aviation elected to the Board due to Russ Jones, a General Aviation member terming out. After a brief discussion regarding the applicants, the Committee proposed that the ballot include all three Directors up for re-election, as well as all five new applicants, without any specific recommendation by the Committee other than they are all well qualified. All members of the Committee present agreed.
