Submit your nomination online now (members only)

USHPA is now accepting nominations for its Board of Directors. We are seeking individuals who are committed to the future of free flight and who bring a collaborative, strategic mindset to leadership.

What the Board Does

USHPA’s Board works in partnership with staff and committees to guide the organization. Directors don’t manage daily operations or direct the staff — rather, they focus on governance, oversight, finance, and working with the Executive Director on strategy.

What We're Looking For

Ideal candidates will:

Have experience on nonprofit boards or collaborative professional teams
Think strategically and work constructively across diverse viewpoints
Care deeply about hang gliding and paragliding in the U.S.
Commit to working as part of a respectful, team-oriented board

Director Commitments

Participate in board meetings every other month (remote via teleconference)
Attend one in-person board meeting annually, if it occurs (travel costs reimbursed)
Contribute their particular expertise to discussions
Represent the organization favorably in public

We Encourage Diverse Voices

We particularly welcome nominations of women, newer members, and younger members. You may nominate yourself or another member. Current directors do not need to be re-nominated.
