Welcome back! This week we have Shad Coulson on the podcast. Shad is a glider pilot and competitor, and he is also the Contest Director for this year's IAC Nationals. Shad fills us in on how he became CD, as well as a bunch of stuff in the pipeline that will make the contest better. It was great to hear his perspective on Nationals in the past, the IAC in general, regional contests, and so much more. This Nationals has all the signs of being a really fantastic event!
