The Organization Added 56 Members During The Week
Approximately one hundred members, corporate supporters, and
guests participated in the first annual dinner meeting of the
Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE). Held during
AirVenture, attendees were given the opportunity to interact with
all nine of SAFE's elected Directors. The Board acknowledged the
contributions of the entire membership, thanked SAFE's supporters,
and presented plaques of appreciation to members who had joined at
the Platinum level.

Two awards were introduced as well: the
first was presented to Radek Wyrzykowski (Member #018) For his
outstanding contribution and service by creating the organization's
website; the second, established as an annual Founders' Award, was
presented to Rich Stowell (Member #002) For selfless service in
support of the Mission and Vision of the Society of Aviation and
Flight Educators.

The Board used the gathering to identify a number of specific
goals as well. According to Chair Doug Stewart, "As SAFE moves
ahead, it's important for us to have benchmarks against which we
can measure our progress. For example, we exceeded our AirVenture
target by growing our membership more than 22 percent during the
week in Oshkosh." Over the next six months, SAFE plans to double
both its membership and the number of corporate supporters.
SAFE embraces all aviation educators
and remains the only organization of its type where its members
elect the entire Board of Directors.
