Election season is here for the BFA Board of Directors. This year the board seats up for election are Southwest, Great Lakes and one At-Large Position.
The recent changes of the organization’s bylaws now allow for electronic voting. The Board has been testing some methods of accomplishing this and we expect to be fully capable to run an election in line with the normal schedule. This will save the BFA a great deal of time and money compared to paper ballots and will hopefully encourage greater participation from the membership (you!) as well. Looks for more details soon! All members, please review your contact information on the BFA Member Roster to ensure that your email address is correct and up to date before July 8, 2013 to be included in the electronic voting.
Questions about accessing the roster on this website, please contact your regional director or the BFA office and we will help you gain access easily and quickly.
If you or someone you know would like to be considered for nomination, please contact a member of the following nominating committees.

Efforts are underway to represent and promote our wonderful sport of Hot Air Ballooning at the EAA Airventure at the end of July. The BFA will cover the costs of the Ballooning Display area, but we need your help! One of the greatest parts of ballooning is its people and our passion for lighter than air aviation. We are looking for volunteers to continue the tradition in Oshkosh, that are willing to share their enthusiasm at the BFA Ballooning Display Area. We are in need of a booth coordinator, booth staff as well as pilots who would like to tether and/or fly at the event. This years dates are July 29th - August 4th.
Let me know if you are interested in volunteering at one of the greatest Aviation Expositions to promote the great sport of ballooning. Please send an email to kwalter@bfa.net for more information

The Balloon Federation of America joins the rest of the worldwide ballooning community in mourning the loss of Cindy Petrehn.
Cindy was a beloved member of one of ballooning's largest and most well known families yet the World was Cindy's ballooning family. Through her talents as a photographer, she captured and shared the beauty and grace of our sport for all to see. With a constant smile, Cindy openly lived the passion she held so deeply for ballooning. She was a Staff Photographer for our BALLOONING Journal and gave of her work freely so others could enjoy it.
Now Cindy is aloft forever in a clear sky with light winds. She will be forever missed.

A popular hot air balloon in the likeness of the National Forrest Service icon Smokey Bear has become one of the latest targets in the rush to forestall going over the edge of the fiscal cliff. The Associated Press reports that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) said Thursday during the Senate's opening day that the Smokey Bear balloon was a waste of taxpayer dollars, especially at a time when the Republicans are looking to tackle the federal deficit.
