Kudos to EAA! They received some “blowback” about funding it with member dues–and pivoted to look for funding that did NOT use member dues! NOT mentioned–the facility is booked for about 100 weddings already (they charge for the use of the facility)–another source of revenue. It takes pressure off holding events inside the actual museum, while still providing access. ANOTHER SIGN OF “PAYING ATTENTION TO MEMBERS WISHES!”

I’ve admired CEO Jack Pelton’s leadership of EAA–and the mark of a good leader is to be responsive to their constituents.

I’ve seen the new facility–it is a great addition to EAA. Watch for other new and innovative activities to be held there.

I second your admiration of Jack Pelton’s leadership. He’s about as close to being a Poberezny as we could have hoped to find, especially after the less-than-stellar tenure of Hightower. We are lucky to have him, and I fear the day he decides to retire.
