BC / Yukon COPA By-election Feb 24 – April 4

There is currently an election process taking place in BC & YT to fill the vacant director’s position, that was previously held by Bryan Webster.    Bryan vacated this position early due to work pressures, therefore the term of office for this election will be two years vice the usual four year term.     

The voting process started today and the poll will be open until April 4th.     Please go to the COPA web site at: copanational.org and follow the directions found on the front of the home page.     You will need your COPA membership number and password to log on to the members only section, and then choose the members only button that will take you to voting button.    A few members have had some difficulty in logging in, but if you follow the directions carefully you should have no difficulty.    If you do have problems, or for those members that wish to vote by a paper ballot, you may contact, COPA’s Office Manager, Heather McLaren, her telephone number is 613 236 4901 ext 110.  

The candidates information can be found in the March edition of the COPA Flight newspaper and their bios and other information are listed in the voting section when you cast your ballot.  

The three candidates in the running for BC & YT are:

Ken Armstrong
Joe Hessberger  
Carter Mann

Please take the time to vote.   Every vote counts particularly in light of the fact that the voter turn out for these COPA elections is historically extremely low (typically 1%!)   Please make sure that this is not the case in this election as your vote is important in choosing the best candidate that will donate their time and energy to represent you and your Freedom to Fly.
