Five EAA Directors Earn Reelection at EAA Annual Meeting A large turnout of EAA members appeared for the annual meeting of EAA Saturday morning, July 28, at Theater in the Woods. Five current EAA directors were reelected to Class 1 (three-year) terms on the board by wide margins, including Barry E. Davis, Jack Harrington, David C. Lau, Dan Schwinn, and Alan Shackleton. The treasurer's report showed generally fl at results for the fi scal year that closed on February 29, 2012; generally a break-even year, according to Treasurer Eric Gurley. An approximate three-percent decline in revenues was largely caused by a decrease in investment income, he said. But the association is in a sound fi scal position to ensure its long-term health and viability. Near the end of the annual meeting, a number of EAA members spoke during a question-and-answer period. Longtime EAA Board Member Louie Andrew Retires After 26 years of continuous service on the EAA Board of Directors, Louie Andrew announced his retirement on August 3, 2012. "I had planned to retire this year," Andrew said. "It's now time for me to allow the many other talented directors we have on the board to take their turns. "It has been a great honor for me to serve as a director of EAA," he added. "Without the vision of Paul Poberezny and Tom Poberezny and the hard work of everyone at EAA, we may not have private fl ying in the future. I am confi dent that EAA is now in the right place to ensure the future of all of private aviation." During his last 10 years on the board, Andrew was the chair of the Executive Committee of EAA and vice president of EAA, and over the past year he was chairman of the EAA Board of Directors. He has also served as treasurer of the International Aerobatic Club (IAC), a division of EAA, and had been a member of the IAC Board. "Louie's long experience on the EAA Board was essential during the leadership transition," said Dan Schwinn, chair of the EAA Governance Committee of the Board. "Louie spent countless hours on the search for a new president and then devoted even more time helping to make the leadership change as smooth as possible." EAA EXPERIMENTER 7
