USPA Board of Directors Selects New Executive Director

[3331 137]

The USPA Board of Directors has selected Ed Scott to serve as executive director effective in December. He succeeds Chris Needels, who is retiring after serving in the position for nearly 14 years. Scott has served as USPA Director of Government Relations and Group Membership for 11 years. He is an active skydiver and retired jumpmaster with more than 1,200 jumps. Scott also holds a commercial pilot certificate with an instrument rating and has logged more than 1,000 hours of flight time, much of it as a jump pilot.

Said Scott, “I’m excited by the opportunity to help the board bring even more value to USPA’s members.” He continued, “Our members expect and deserve a full-service organization that continually works to reduce the risk, increase the fun, hold the costs and maximize skydiving’s right of access to the national airspace system.

An interview with Scott will appear in next month’s issue of Parachutist.

Good point. We're getting lots of free advertising from him.

So why should we pay for it?

Well I don't see why Ed couldn't do just as good or better, after all, he has served as USPA Director of Government Relations and Group Membership for 11 years. I'd think he knows what we DON'T want in USPA, if you get my drift.

To Chris, thank you for your years of dedication and hard work! I for one appreciate what you have done!

Congratulations Ed!!! Look forward to what you will do for us!!! Just from our conversations over the last month, I know you will open some new doors and opportunities for our sport!

And to USPA, thank you all for your hard work, and the ability to keep going forward, especially in these hard times!

I am very proud to have been a member of USPA for almost 25 years, and with my families combined membership being almost 200 years I know they are proud as well!

Thank you!
