"Join us for our September West Side Association Meeting with guest speaker Dick Knapinski. Dick will recap this year’s EAA AirVenture and the community impact of EAA AirVenture!
"Dick has been EAA’s Director of Communications since January 2010, having been promoted to that position after serving as a member of EAA’s Public Relations/Marketing staff since 1992. His responsibilities include being a liaison between the 270,000-member aviation organization and media representatives who report on EAA activities throughout the year. Those activities include the annual EAA AirVenture Oshkosh fly-in, which has an annual attendance of more than 600,000 and draws 10,000 airplanes and nearly 1,000 members of the international media to Oshkosh.
"In 2013, The Northeast Wisconsin chapter of the Public Relations Society of America named Dick as the first recipient of its 'Communicator of the Year' award and in October 2016, Knapinski was invited to be one of 15 speakers for the inaugural TEDxOshkosh program, a locally organized event affiliated with the renowned TED-talk series. He was also a co-author of the 2016 book EAA Oshkosh: The Best Aviation Photography.
"When not talking or writing about airplanes, Dick tries to make time for flying himself and was part of an EAA staff team that successfully built a Zenith CH750 light-sport aircraft that made its first flight in July 2014.
"We are excited to welcome Dick to our September meeting of West Side Association to hear more about this year’s EAA AirVenture and the community impact of EAA AirVenture!"
