Voting for whether or not we should reorganize the USPHA governance system is NOW OPEN starting today and ending February 21.
Why should you vote? [Nik's OPINION ONLY: Whether you acknowledge it or not, USHPA does a TON of admin work and thinking so you can focus on flying. Your vote helps determine HOW they do this. I've always been a huge fan of letting other people do boring paperwork AND supporting them however I can so I don't have to do it. While I won't tell you which way to vote, I strongly recommend you take the time to check out the proposal and cast a vote. Check your email for your personal link and vote now!]

We're aiming for at least 25% voter participation, but we need your help to reach that goal. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in getting the word out on the vote to your chapter members. (And of course, please be sure to vote too!)
I'm re-attaching a PDF below with information about the governance proposal and why the vote matters, which you're welcome to share.

We’ve also recently added a video explaining the proposal’s diversity selection process, which you can watch below:
All USHPA members should have received an email with their voter code for voting online, and will also receive a postcard in the mail which can be used to request a paper ballot (if desired). If a member doesn't receive the email/postcard, has trouble logging in to the website, or experiences any other issues, please let us know or ask them to contact the USHPA office at info@ushpa.org.
