New CEO?
Found elsewhere - surely not true????
The Light Aircraft Association - formerly the PFA - has appointed Peter Harvey as its new CEO, to replace Graham Newby, who announced last year that he would be standing down from the post when a suitable replacement could be found.
Roger Hopkinson, LAA Chairman, said "Following an 8 month search for a new CEO, I am pleased to announce that we have found a worthy replacement in Peter Harvey. The LAA is facing some exciting challenges and I am sure Peter is more than capable of meeting those head on."

Gasax. Found elsewhere - surely not true????
If your info came from a written source other than LAA, I find it difficult to understand as to why the members were not informed before or at worst, at the same time, by way of an announcement on the front page of the LAA website and/or as a topic on the Forum board.
Hopefully someone in authority will read this and make an official announcement including telling us a little about Peter Harvey, (is this the Pete Harvey of BGA fame?), when he's likely to take the reins, etc.
Welcome on board Peter, may you have a smooth flight!

At an NC several meetings ago, it was felt that the membership should be kept aware of initiatives and newsworthy items by some sort of electronic newsletter. There was a lot of disquiet expressed then that so much of the LAA work was hidden.
I suppose the LAA Magazine would lose some of its value if we heard of things before they are published in that, but I really don't see why we shouldn't be able to read about news when it happens, and before it becomes 'olds'.
Luckily we can get Notams and Met without having to wait for it to be published in paper form - I hear that used to happen back in the good old days.
Now this may be seen as a criticism - which it is. That's because I like to think of the LAA as a modern forward-thinking organisation, and good communications is a key part of that.

I second that! Can't see why a brief 'Stop Press' announcement wasn't put out on OUR website last Friday especially as it was press released to others that day. PR (public relations) includes LAA members. PR (press releases), especially those that affect the workings of the LAA, should appear on our front page first. A concise note stating the appointment would not take anything away from the detailed article in May's LA.
