SLRA's annual election of directors and officers was held at last night's club meeting, which also served as the annual meeting for our corporation. The election results are as follows:

Board of Directors: John Buckley, Dan Crank, Don Hanson, David Kovar, Jack Oney, Rodney Riederer, Dan Welling

President: David Kovar

Vice President: Jack Oney

Secretary: Dan Crank

Treasurer: Don Hanson

It was also announced that Rob Chapie is stepping down both as an SLRA Director and as Tripoli Prefect for Prefecture #56, although he plans to remain active with the club. We would like to thank Rob for all of his work in support of SLRA and our Prefecture, particularly in building and maintaining our excellent relationship with the FAA and obtaining our high-altitude waivers in Elsberry and Addieville.

In an informal election, Dan Welling was selected as the new Tripoli Prefect and Dan Crank as the new Tripoli Secretary. I will also take this opportunity to mention that Dan Welling has recently been named to the Tripoli Technical Advisor Panel (TAP).
