Tree Toppers,

You should have received an email invitation, sent from Election Buddy at 12:00 AM CST on November 11, to vote in the Tennessee Tree Toppers (TTT) 2026 Board of Directors (BOD) Election.  If you did not receive this email, please check your spam folder.  If you prefer to vote by paper ballot, those are included on pages 9 and 10 in the Fall 2025 issue of Branches, the TTT newsletter, which should be on its way to a mailbox near you if it hasn't already arrived.  As usual, the newsletter contains other information, including "BOD Blurbs" on page 10, to assist in advising your voting.

PLEASE BE ADVISED:  Steve Manston has withdrawn from this election with notice to the TTT BOD received after 6:00 PM on Monday, November 11, which was too late for ballot edits.

Whether you vote electronically via Election Buddy or with the paper ballot in the newsletter, the TTT needs the contribution of your voice in the management of your free-flight cooperative for truly democratic Tree Topper representation.  Please vote!

Thanks,

Dan Shell, TTT Election Committee Chair

We welcome visiting pilots and new members. Due to insurance requirements, every pilot must be a current USHPA member.  Membership in the Tennessee Tree Toppers club is also required. Visiting pilots may purchase a 30-day membership option.

Before your first flight at any of our sites, you must read and become familiar with our Bylaws, our Flight Regulatory Program, our Site Information and should request a Site Briefing from an experienced local pilot or Board Member. Site briefings are required for first flights by Novice (H2,P2) pilots at Henson Gap and (H3,P3) pilots at Whitwell.
