The Board and Elections
|
|
We encourage aviation enthusiasts throughout California who are
committed to helping the Golden West Regional Fly-In become the
premier fly-in on the West Coast to serve on the Board of Directors
of the Golden West Aviation Association, Inc. A position on the
Board of Directors presents many challenging opportunities and
abundant satisfaction and rewards.
The 15-member Board of Directors is comprised of four Officers and
eleven Directors, each member serving a term of two years. To
minimize the effects of transitioning governance half of the
Directors are elected each year.
Elections are held each year at the Board’s Annual Meeting on the
third Saturday of November. |

Requirements of Candidacy

Directors and Officers must be interested in furthering the goals and objectives
of the Golden West Aviation Association. Among our objectives is to put on the
friendliest Fly-in and Air show in the west. Candidates must be at least 18 years

A Working Board
|
The Board has established an expectation that it is a “working Board” and each Director and Officer
shall carry responsibility for some aspect of the fly-in operations or organizational business operations.
This means that Directors will be attending meetings in addition to the prescribed Board meetings, will
have responsibilities for carrying out duties of the assigned operational function and report regularly
to the Board and Executive Committee.

Candidates should understand that a successful Director must have dedication and responsibility to Golden
West affairs and be aware how time demands of the position may impact home and work life.
