About All Meetings
We have three flavors of get-togethers, the General Membership (GM, this page), the Annual Meeting (AM), which has its own set of pages, since it's actually its own committee as well, requiring much more effort to put together than a GM, and Special Meetings, of which there are few and tailored to the specific needs of the moment. Information about the very next meeting always appears at the top of each ERHC Members page.

About General Meetings
The general meetings typically take place in the evening with snacks and cash bar, program usually involves two sponsor presentations and a variety of other content, from committee reports to current events and so on. Since 2007, we've been drawing about 50-100 persons per meeting, with over 100 at the January 2007 meeting, held at the opening of the CAE SimuFlite training center in Whippany, NJ. In May, 2007, about a dozen FAA and ATC reps were on hand to brief the latest on the Copter RNAV approaches and helicopter IFR routes, some coming from as far as Atlanta and the Boston area. Great support!
Lately we've been starting the social hour at 1830 and the program at 1930, and there's a lot of information to get out, so it's a tightly packed 3 to 4 hour program.
General Meetings, 2010 and beyond
We're always open to new ideas for meeting locations, sponsors, themes, etc.
