FROM THE PRESIDENT

by jeff edwards

Happy New Year and welcome! And thanks for reading the January = 2014 issue of LOBO eNews. We are kicking off the year with some changes = our members asked for, and a few the LOBO Board has been planning for = some time.
 

A New Look

First, you may notice the format of our newsletter has changed. = Instead of a pdf document transmitted to you with the look of a = published magazine we have elected to go with a more modern ezine-style, = web-based design. This is the second edition of LOBO eNews, and the LOBO = Board is very happy with the time savings it represents for the = volunteers who publish it for you. Now that we've decided to increase = our use of the website you won't see entire articles in the newsletter = any longer. Instead, you'll see a brief intro, and a link to the full = article on the site. This should be a familiar format to anyone who is = on an email newsletter list. Please let us know what you think!

There are some advantages to doing things this way. One is that we can = publish and post articles as we get them without waiting for a = newsletter deadline. Also, we don=E2=80=99t have to invest tons of time = formatting the pdf document you are familiar with. Bottom line: same = great stuff, lower cost and faster service. I like fast! Thanks to Mark = Sletten, our volunteer editor, for his help in this project.
 

Site Upgrades

Another change we have made is in the membership arena. We are = victims of our own success. We are now approaching 400 members. Success = is good but it comes with a cost. The cost to us as volunteer Board = members is we have to manage the information of some 400 members. When = we were smaller it was not a huge time investment; Jennifer Ashley, our = Membership VP, was easily able to keep our membership data sorted. But = as we've grown, and especially as we began organizing more events like = Oshkosh AirVenture and the annual LOBO/Lancair Landings, the workload = has increased exponentially. We now must accurately manage hundreds of = separate registrations and financial transactions, not only for = membership tracking, but also for each event. We simply don=E2=80=99t = have the volunteer manpower or other resources to manage things as we = have in the past. So, based on recommendations from a few smart people = who know what they're doing, we have made some significant upgrades to = the website. They include some new features you've asked for that will = only be available to members, and an online membership management = system.

In addition to making it much easier for you find information about = LOBO, our new online tools will significantly reduce the workload on = your all-volunteer LOBO Board. The only drawback for you is you must = fill out the new online registration form this year when you renew so we = can validate our membership database.
 

We Need Your Help

Please take the time to accurately fill out the registration form = in its entirety: aircraft data, hours flown, total time, training, etc. =  It will only take you fifteen minutes to find your logbooks and = fill out the information we need to help all of us make improvements in = aviation safety. We use this data to show the FAA, NTSB and insurance = industry that we are a better risk than non-member pilots. We will = safeguard your flight data=E2=80=94only using aggregate statistical data = in our discussions. Our initial look at this over a year ago revealed = significant differences with respect to training and hours = flown between our members and the pilots involved in = accidents.

We have begun to bend the Lancair accident rate downwards, and we = were rewarded with better insurance coverage this year as announced at = the Greenville Landing. But there is still a lot of room to = improve. LOBO members have proven their commitment to safety and = professionalism, and we'll need that commitment to further = improve. Thank you for your help!
