"EAA is an organization that has been part of my life for many years. My Dad was a member of Chapter 1 in California. I strongly believe in the mission of EAA and its culture. I'm happy to offer what I can to keep moving EAA forward. As the EAA Chairman of the Board holds a key leadership role but is also a volunteer position, I didn't feel it would be right to accept a salary while working with our excellent board and the staff in Oshkosh with the additional duties of CEO. It is part of, as they say, being all in and committed."
