Not satisfied with the situation? Attend the CIA Meeting and help find solutions

By Hiromi Furukawa (JPN), Balloon Pilot, CIA Officials Subcommittee member

Are there things you are not satisfied at ballooning competitions?

If yes, do you know that you can step forward to improve that situation by attending the FAI Ballooning Commission/CIA meetings?

I would suggest a 3-year plan starting with the CIA meeting in Switzerland in March this year.
