NAAA’s
eBallot for members to vote on proposed amendments to its Bylaws is now
open through Sept. 26, 2019. If you are a 2019 member of NAAA eligible
to vote, you should have received a notice via email on how to log onto
the eBallot to cast your positions. Another notice will be sent for
those that have yet to vote so please be on the lookout for an email
from “announcement@associationvoting.com.”
The email will include a weblink to click and a name and password for
you to use to vote in the eBallot. Please be sure to set your email
settings to allow emails from announcement@associationvoting.com,
or keep an eye open for the email in your spam or junk filter. Feel
free to contact Andrew Moore, NAAA’s executive director, to access the
eBallot or with any other questions you may have relating to the vote.
His email is admoore@agaviation.org.
In February of 2019 the NAAA Board of Directors elected unanimously in
favor of these proposed amendments to the Bylaws, and as guided by the
governing document, agreed to hold an election for all eligible NAAA
voting members in hopes that they would agree to these amendments. The
amendments have been designed to strengthen the association and the
aerial application industry to better clarify and streamline the
association's governance; to develop membership categories and oversight
committees to best represent the modern aerial application industry;
and to augment membership and resources directed to the association to
better provide the industry with policy-advocacy, public relations,
education, communication and networking services.
In June, the proposed amendments to NAAA’s
Bylaws, and an explanation as to why changes were being proposed was sent to
all eligible NAAA voting members. That document can be read by clicking here.
