EAA National provides guidance and sets overall direction for the hundreds of EAA Chapters across the USA. Chapters adopt By-Laws, procedures, and processes recommended by EAA National. The Chapter Recognition program was developed and measured in partnership with EAA’s Chapter Advisory Council and is based on 10 criteria that are constantly found in active and highly engaged chapters. In addition to those criteria, EAA encourages chapters to submit additional activities to boost their base score. There are three levels of achievement recognition: Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

EAA Chapter 240 has successfully reached the GOLD level status of recognition and continues to strive to improve our chapter. Award criteria include the following:

  • Chapter leaders attend an EAA training session.
  • The chapter has a steady or growing membership.
  • VMV/IMC Club programs are offered.
  • Young Eagle flights and programs are offered.
  • The chapter has an EAA approved Flight Advisor and a Technical Advisor.
  • Chapter members participate in the EAA National annual survey.
  • The chapter participates in the Ray Aviation Scholarship program.
  • The chapter must host at least two public events annually.
  • The EAA National Chapter Blast email system must be used at least once.
  • We own our own hangar facility with an extensive tool crib.
  • The chapter supports numerous aircraft build projects and provides a chapter scholarship to future youth aviators.

EAA Chapter 240 has worked very hard to achieve the Gold status recognition by EAA National. We plan to continue qualifying for this highest level of recognition by providing a very active chapter with great facilities located at a very active small airport.
