BFA Western Region Directorship

You may know that our own Cory Miller lost being elected last fall to the BFA board by just 3 votes to Gary Eaton. Gary was forced for medical reasons to recently resign the position of Western Region Director. When this happens the BFA Board appoints someone to complete the term.

At Thursday's WAS's BBQ/Meeting it was announced that Cory was being considered for the Position. Paul Cheatham, a visiting Pilot from California, also announced that he was being considered. At this point I was beginning to look forward to some serious arm wrestling or some other form of entertainment to settle this situation. Paul settled it by saying he was declining and throwing his support to Cory.

Later, Cory received a call from the BFA Board announcing his appointment to the position of BFA Western Director to complete Gary Eaton's term.

WAY TO GO CORY ! Congratulations and I hope you're looking forward to some exciting times ahead. I belive this shatters the glass ceiling that dictated that only 'Pilots' were qualified to sit on the board.

Thank you Jim!I look forward to serving on the BFA board. I also look forward to serving both the members of the BFA and those that are thinking of joining the BFA. I am ready to do whatever is called upon me for the better of the organization.
