One of three boxes containing ballots and proxy cards disappeared during shipment from IAC headquarters to IAC's Nominations and Ballot Certification chair. As a result, the IAC board has decided to rerun the election.
Directors and officers normally installed at the annual membership meeting at AirVenture will instead take office immediately upon completion of the election in mid-October. Meanwhile, current directors and officers will continue to serve.
The vote to adopt the restated Articles and By-laws proposed earlier this year is also postponed. The board will call a special membership meeting to hold this vote. (You may cast your vote by proxy.) You'll find the meeting notice in October's Sport Aerobatics magazine and on the IAC website.

Please watch for your new ballot and proxy card in the mail, then mark and return them at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
