State of Ohio Statement of Continuing Existence & New Statutory Agent
Lead times for announcing events

  • All events should be posted on our chapter events page as soon as they are scheduled
  • The Ohio Region EAA Newsletter generally goes out the first of the month. This essentially means that the first announcement should be in the August newsletter and again in the September newsletter.
  • What tools does EAA provide to distribute event information? Perhaps this information can be gained at AirVenture (Blue Barn)?

Young Eagles Registration

  • EAA provides an online registration tool for advance registrations – we have not used this option mainly because we don’t know how many pilots we will have available for each event. 
  • YE Staffing- 1 person to handle registrations, 1 person to handle logbooks and certificates, 1 person for operations safety

Signage

  • We have several new signs that have been printed on adhesive paper. Work needs to be done to put them on Coroplast boards. 
  • Are other new signs needed?

AirVenture Attendees

  • Is any final coordination needed?
  • There are always excellent programs for chapter management. Try to attend some.

EAA284 Chapter Meeting May 8 2022

The next chapter meeting will be on Sunday, May 8th at 2:30 pm. If the weather is favorable we will meet at the hanger. I know that in May, we usually meet on the 3rd Sunday so that members can enjoy Mother’s Day with family. I hope this change does not inconvenience anyone too severely.

With our Learn to Fly Day coming on the 21st, I think that the extra week will be needed. We have several banners to put up and discuss the logistics of the day. I have contacted several other organizations for participation. There is interest but no firm commitments. I have registered the event with EAA as a Learn to Fly and Young Eagles event and obtained the necessary insurance coverage. I also have also obtained EAA material relative to both events.
