Tracy and Lisa have been nominated for the USHGA PRESIDENTIAL
CITATION. Please encourage the awards committee to honor them with the award by
writing a short letter of recommendation yourself and submitting it online. Go
to: www.USHGA.org, On the left sidebar click
on: Forms +, Online forms +, Award Nominations.


You may reference my nomination and preferably use your own words. Many of you
can add reasons that they should receive the award and hopefully you will
forward your comments to the awards committee for consideration in their
decision making.


Dear USHGPA,


Please consider Tracy Tillman and Lisa Colletti (husband and wife team) for the
PRESIDENTIAL CITATION.


Lisa and Tracy are very devoted to and have made a significant contribution to
our sport over the course of several years now. Their dedication to 1) pilot,
equipment and environmental safety, 2) membership development and promotion, and
3) the enjoyment, comfort and pleasure of pilots and their families/guests
qualify them for our highest honor we can bestow.


They are without peer in their hospitality and their investment of tireless
human capital. Their unselfish financial capital investments certainly must rank
near the top in comparison to the majority of HG/PG operations.


This year alone they have made significant time and capital investments. Just a
few examples include: starting a “scooter-tow” operation, working to get an HG
operation in our region to take action to comply with safety regulations and
hosting a fun event designed to renew the interest of “drop-out” pilots to come
back into the sport.


Without hesitation they have taken on national organization responsibilities as
Region 7 Director(s).


Lisa and Tracy are members that other members should assimilate as much as
possible. They certainly have my vote for the Presidential Citation.


Sincerely, Chris Christophersen
