More to Come in 2011

So, we are continuing to move forward with making things better for Registrars by pumping up the volume on communication.  The complete CD packet is now posted on the IAC website member page.  Thanks again to the IAC board and all of their feedback and help in getting more information posted for everyone who is involved in running regional contests. Special thanks to Trish who takes care of all the admin!  Another positive in the works are changes taking place to the Registrar's Guidelines.  Some directions on this document are either obsolete or have altered with changing rules over the years. So, it is time to update!  Thanks to Debby Wisman for pointing out some changes that needed to be made on the directions for the 4 minute Free Style and to Brian Howard for doing some editing on those suggestions.  If you have any suggestions about corrections or clarifications that need to be made to the Registrar Guidelines, let me know by Jan. 15th as I am hoping to have a final draft ready by January 30th.  In the meantime - more fun to come when I try my hand at being a video producer... Hoping to put together a couple of short videos "training" style for being a registrar.  If you would like to be involved in this project contact me.  Happy New Year to all!   Lorrie Penner,  penn.lorr@yahoo.com, IAC34

Getting Started

     Going to AirVenture in July 2010 was a great experience and had the added benefit of meeting a fellow Registration enthusiast... Not sure enthusiast is the correct word, but Marilyn Niccum and I were kindred spirits from the start.  We both have a lot of experience with Registration at Regional IAC Aerobatic Competitions and have both felt the lack of a good system to share information and recruit and teach new registrars.  So, we talked it out and decided it was time for some action.
    The first thing, in our minds, was to find out more from other Registrars and see if a few of our ideas about training and information sharing would work, or if there was an interest. Because of your responses you have been invited to participate in our blog, so we are expecting this to be a great tool for all of us.
     There are lots of great ideas and techniques that you have come up with to make your job easier, so we want to hear from you!  Information from the survey that was sent out in September and October will be posted here as soon as I get the hang of doing a blog.
     Looking forward to seeing all your great ideas! Lorrie Penner IAC34
