ECAHF begins early planning for 2027 gala; board aims for flexible speaker selection
Summary
The board opened early planning for the Feb. 19, 2027 gala, discussing speaker concepts (historical aviation topics, pilot panels, private aviation company speakers) and advising selection of speakers who do not require government approval to enable earlier confirmation.
The Eastern Carolina Aviation Heritage Foundation board opened planning for its Feb. 19, 2027 gala at the April 10 meeting, with Chairman Tom Braaten asking members to start early speaker and sponsor outreach.
Members discussed options including historical aviation themes, panels of pilots recounting service stories (potentially accompanied by video), and speakers from private aviation firms similar to Draken. The board agreed that selecting a speaker who does not require government approval would allow earlier confirmation and more effective marketing.
Braaten asked members to review the sponsor list included in the meeting packet and to notify staff of any corrections. No formal motion on speaker selection was taken; the discussion served to guide early outreach and sponsor coordination.
