Hooknswoop 19 #2 October 2, 2018 I was able to email my questions to the current ND’s and ND candidate John H. King. All of the other candidates did not list an email in their bio. Therefore, I was unable to send my questions to; Richard Winstock Randy Connell James Hayhurst Kevin Gibson Shanon Searls Lindsey C. Miller Alan T. "Al" King Scott Smith Albert Berchtold Jarrett Martin William "Bill" Scott My questions; What do you plan to change as an USPA National Director? What do you not want to change as an USPA National Director? What is your opinion on mandatory USPA membership? Edited to; Are you in favor or against the USPA having as part of the GM Pledge this requirement; “Require introductory or regular individual USPA membership of: 1. all U.S. skydivers cleared for self-supervision 2. non-resident foreign nationals who do not have proof of membership in their national aeroclub.” What is your opinion on the USPA Group Member Program? What is your opinion on the aircraft maintenance and pilot reporting requirements as part of the USPA GM program? Derek V Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baronn 111 #4 October 2, 2018 Yeah, really amazing in this day and age that isn't easily available. I'm sure many of us have questions about each candidates views on current issues. To all candidates running this year: Answer these questions and the 1 that seems to be getting the most attention this year, funding the National museum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3331 137 #5 October 2, 2018 I forgot to include these in the above post. Ballot and the Rules: https://uspa.org/Portals/0/files/election/ballot2018.pdf Also, Jay Stokes is a Write in for National Director this time. He was busy Skydiving and forgot the date and time to declare his bid for Reelection and missed getting his name on the ballot. Don’t let the USPA BOD waste anymore of your money on donations to the International Skydiving Museum (boondoggle) in Orlando.I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.
