ATTENTION ALL 430 EAA MEMBERS
In light of recent announcements concerning the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic, the leadership of our organization has reluctantly concluded that formal meetings within the EAA should be placed on hold.
 
Admittedly, there are situations where a local meeting would present no danger of contagion whatsoever.
Consideration is for our members as a part of the more at risk group of infection than the general population.
As we approach the end of April for the gathering on the 25th, the leadership will be taking another look at further recommendations.
Any questions you might have about a particular situation may be addressed to us by sending an email to Ken Brown president@eaa430.org

April 28, 2020  Update:Based on the latest announcement from Washington Governor Jay Inslee  our state will be on a rolling OPEN FOR BUSINESS PLAN.  Until we get a “CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF” all EAA 430 activities in May are CANCELLED.  If we get an all clear for any of our activities we will revisit this decision.
 
We are pleased to announce that EAA Chapter 430     
has achieved the Gold Chapter Recognition level!  

This program was created to recognize chapters that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to general aviation. Developed in partnership with EAA’s Chapter Advisory Council, it’s based on 10 criteria that are consistently found in active and engaged chapters. Each is worth a point, and there are three levels of recognition: bronze (7 out of 10), silver (8 out of 10), and gold (at least 9 out of 10).
1) Attended a chapter leadership training session
2) Growing or steady membership
