EAA Chapter 14 Election Rules
Eligibility:
Chapter members of record in good standing (i.e. dues up to date through the current year as of November 1).
EAA National rules and our Chapter bylaws require that Chapter members must be EAA National members to vote in Chapter elections. By casting a Chapter ballot, members are attesting that they are current EAA National members.
Voting Procedure:
You may vote in person at our November membership meeting, on Saturday, November 21st, 2026. There will be ballots available at the meeting or you may bring a completed ballot to the meeting with you. You should not write your name on your ballot.
Alternatively, you may vote by mail-in, drop-off or emailed proxy. Proxies received up to Friday, November 13th, 2026 will be accepted.
When voting by mail-in or drop-off proxy, include your name and signature at the bottom of the form. Place your proxy in the white mailbox outside Hangar 1 or mail your proxy to:
EAA Chapter 14 Election Ballot
1409 Continental Street
San Diego, CA 92154-5707
To email your proxy, send it from your registered member email address to eaa14contact@gmail.com no later than Friday, November 13th, 2026.
The Secretary will validate mail-in, drop-off and emailed proxies against the registered voter roster before the meeting by matching, as appropriate, the name and return address or sending email address of submitted proxies. To preserve secrecy, the Secretary will separate the voting portion from identification information before counting by the Nominating Committee.
How to Mark your Ballot/Proxy
Vote for both Officers and Directors. Use blank spaces for write-in candidates. Write legibly and mark your ballot clearly. Ballots with votes for more than 4 officers or more than 14 additional (non-officer) directors will be invalidated. Vote only once!
Thanks for voting and supporting your Chapter.
Getting to our chapter has changed! Construction right next to us at Brown Field changed the route. Enter at Gate 4 and call the hangar phone at 619-661-6520 for directions. Step-by-step directions are on our Directions page. The picture shows the basic route. Follow the red lines.
We want to say Thank You to our great members and volunteers - and we’re happy to welcome new members as well!
Any questions, please contact President Trinidad Lopez at 619-661-7117.
Hope to see you there.
We are a group of aviation enthusiasts, aircraft builders, and pilots who get together with like minded people to share ideas, exchange information, encourage safety, serve the local aviation community and have a lot of fun doing so. Please come to our next meeting or event as our guest.
We hold monthly membership meetings on the third Saturday each month at 10:00AM.
On meeting days, we serve breakfast in the hangar from 8:30 to 9:30 AM: waffles or pancakes, eggs, and sausage for a suggested donation of $5.
Meetings start at 10:00AM with a brief discussion of chapter business, followed by a guest speaker. Most programs are eligible for WINGS credit.
We hold a Young Eagles rally on the second Saturday of each month. Registration opens two weeks before each event at ye14.org (search ZIP code 92154).
Visitors are always welcome at Chapter 14!
