    REGUAR AGENDA
    1) Election and Personnel Committee discussion, review, and possible recommendation of the applications received for the YCAA Board of Director vacancies to be presented in the November monthly meeting.

    Gladys Brown, the Airport Director, clarified that for the upcoming year (2026), the YCAA has three vacancies; two of these are due to 1st Vice President Hager and Director Dhawan, who have both expressed that they do not wish to be on the ballot. 2nd Vice President Guzman has indicated his desire to be placed on the ballot for consideration. Thus, there are three seats to fill: two vacant ones and one with an incumbent seeking re-election. If the incumbent is successful, there will be two seats available for new applicants. Ms. Brown further noted that this year, the YCAA received four (4) applications.

    The Committee reviewed all four new applications and determined that each applicant is qualified and has no apparent conflicts of interest. Following a brief discussion, the Committee recommended that the election ballot include the director eligible for re-election along with all four new applicants. The Committee did not make any specific endorsements, noting instead that all applicants meet the qualifications and that the Board may select those individuals deemed most suitable based on current needs and strategic priorities. All Committee members present were in agreement with this recommendation.
