Westerly 61 #2 November 2, 2020 We have a real election going on to be concerned about. Skydiving is hardly even a thing these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3331 137 #3 November 2, 2020 I voted for Melissa Lowe. She will help stop the USPA BOD from wasting anymore USPA Members money on the failed building of the International Skydiving Museum building. This is NOT about the "skydiving hall of fame", it's about a building that has no location or plan and no money, other then USPA Members. Our USPA money would be more productively invested in Airport Access and the USA Team's. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skydiving may not be a thing for you these days, but for 40,000 USPA members it is. Besides, after tomorrow the "real election" will be over. The USPA election goes on through the end of the month. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of the few occasions where voting twice (once in each different election) is good. Skydiving isn't much of a 'thing' for me right now, this year will have my lowest jump total ever (other than 'zero' before I started). Doesn't mean it won't be in the future. Doesn't mean I don't care about USPA. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3331 137 #10 November 4, 2020 Correct, there is no paper Ballot in the November issue of Parachutist. You can have one mailed to you at the inconvenience of HQ Staff by calling USPA HQ at 540-604-9740. Or log on the USPA Web site and print out the Ballot. Better yet, log on and vote. What about the two with no photo, that’s a violation of of the USPA Election Committee by-laws and in-laws, no picture no bio. Neither one has a chance, however wasted votes on them takes away votes for the top three contenders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougH 270 #12 December 1, 2020 I voted electronically before it went down. Was this just a site outage, or was their functionality that needed to be fixed. Just wondering if I should worry that my vote wasn't counted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
