Regional Reports
NE – N/A
SE –
The Southeast region is off to a great start in 2025, there are 14 contests scheduled with three new clubs hosting events. We begin our contest season on the first weekend in March and will run through to our regional final on the first weekend in November.
We have a strong group of ARD’s to represent IMAC in each state with only two changes going into the year. Staying in their positions are Bill Daniel (FL), Brandon Rosenquist (GA), Scott Anderson (AL) and Ty Lyman (VA). Leaving the team is Gil Major (TN) who no longer flies IMAC, and finally we have a new ARD to announce – Michael Medlin backfilled my role in North Carolina.
The events we have planned cover Florida, Georgia, South Carolina ,and North Carolina. We have a fantastic core group of people through that area and are growing with new pilots that tried IMAC last year joining again for a full season. Growth into our outlying states of Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama will be an ongoing effort.
Thank you
