BIG NEWS!!!

I sat down with Jack Gierhart (US SAILING Executive Director) last night for 90 minutes. He has agreed to my request to attend a portion of our meeting, and will forward my request to have Gary Jobson (US SAILING President) join him.

I am working with the Area Reps on a final agenda and will post it soon.

If attending in person, registration is required (link is here: http://about.ussailing.org/US_SAILING_Meetings.htm).

Registration includes lunch, which will feature a review of investigation reports from some major accidents/tragedies over the past year, as well as a Town Hall meeting with Gary Jobson. There are some really cool programs scheduled for Saturday, including an inside report from the America's Cup PRO, John Craig.

Ding, in the initial post, I asked to keep this thread dedicated to announcements. If you would be so kind as to move your post to a separate thread, I would be happy to respond...
