2020 Annual Meeting, 15 February

Phoenix Flyers will be hosting its annual members’ meeting the morning of 15 February at Chandler Airport’s terminal. Breakfast should be there at 8:30am, with the meeting to begin at 9am.

The annual meeting is an opportunity to go into more detail about the club, and more strategic details, than the standard monthly business meetings.

Topics

We’ll be discussing strategic matters not regularly covered in monthly meetings, such as but not limited to:

  • Updates to club procedures,
  • Changing to digital dispatch of aircraft, retiring paper tickets,
  • The replacement aircraft.

We will also be discussing a potential equity stake increase for all members, to increase capital on-hand for the new aircraft purchase.

Per Section XV of the Club Bylaws, a majority of club members in attendance would need to approve such a change. Details on the proposal are to-come, though it will also likely be discussed at the January meeting.

Elections

We also have four officer positions up for election:

  • Secretary, currently handled by Mike Ricker.
  • Treasurer, currently handled by Jason Brookham.
  • Operations, currently handled by J.C. Jones.

December 2019 meeting cancelled

As our standard meeting slot for December 2019 coincides with Christmas Eve, we will not have a business meeting this month.

At the start of the new year we’ll be having our Annual Member’s Meeting. Stay tuned for more information on that.

Monthly Business Meetings are now Video-Conferences

For years we’ve met on the fourth Tuesday of each month, alternating between our airports. After some trials, beginning with using Skype and Google Hangouts, we’ve settled that going forward our regularly-scheduled business meeting will be conducted remotely via video-conference, initially via Zoom.

These meetings are still listed on our Events calendar and the footer of each web page.

In-Person Social Events

We’re making this shift to make our business meeting as accessible as possible — but we still enjoy each others’ company! So we’re going to plan to come together at least quarterly somewhere near the midpoint of Deer Valley and Chandler for a social event. We’re discussing this on our Facebook discussion group. This may or may not take the place of that month’s business meeting. The calendar will be kept up-to-date to the best of our ability – but do please RSVP via the means listed in the event.

Still Open To All

All of our meetings are still open to the public. Please see the individual event for details on how to get the meeting link for that month, or Contact Us here via the website.

Annual Meeting – 2 February 2019

The 2019 annual all-hands meeting will be on Saturday, 2 February 2019. We will meet for an unhosted social breakfast at the Deer Valley Airport Restaurant at 9:30am. [Google Calendar event]

After breakfast, we will move upstairs to the 2nd floor conference room for the meeting, approximately at 10:30am, adjourning at approximately noon. [Google Calendar event]

Topics

We will certainly be discussing the sale of N9014P and the plans for its replacement.

There will also be specific discussion on how to increase social interactions within our club. Certainly our private Facebook group is a fun place to collaborate, but the real world — and its skies — beckon.

Four officers’ positions are also up for election:

  • President, currently handled by Jeff.
  • Vice President, currently handled by Neil.
  • Maintenance Officer, currently handled by Ken.
  • Secretary, currently vacant.
