When is EAA Annual Meeting?

[TedK]

Ted - it'll be listed as a a Featured Event in a special section of the app that you'll see when you're on site. It'll also be listed on the daily highlights signage all over the grounds, on the web, in the AirVenture Today newspaper, called out on EAA radio, plugged on social media, etc.

Super! Let's hope we get a record crowd and top rate discourse.

It's been Wednesday morning for quite some time now.

I think this will be the 2nd year they held the annual meeting on Wednesday morning.
Prior years they were held on Saturday morning.

When Mr. Hightower was running EAA there was supposedly a larger crowd on Saturdays, and there
was some disgruntled members speaking their mind.
Rumor has it they moved the annual meeting to early Wednesday morning to lessen the crowd size,
to a more manageable size.

The Donuts they have out are the best part of the meeting!!

One thing I was wondering is, if you are a EAA member and you just want to attend the meeting.
Do you have to buy a $28.00 wrist band just to attend the annual meeting.

That's a new rumor to me, and I thought I heard them all. It is true that the first annual meeting under Hightower's reign (in 2012) was the most heavily attended and spirited meeting in history. By 2013 the new leadership moved the meeting to Wednesday, with the stated reason that more members would be able to attend, as many of them have already left to return home by Saturday. That makes sense and I have no reason to doubt that motive.

Is the meeting agenda and/or the BOD nominations on-line anywhere?
