On Thursday, June 5th, 2025 the Board of Directors appointed Phillip Gragg as the Vice President of the IAC. The seat was left vacant when the previous Vice President, Rob Holland, passed away in April 2025.
About the appointment, Phillip said, "We were all impacted by Rob’s loss, and it is a privilege to have the support of the Board as we continue to work for the betterment of our organization, and continue to focus on education, safety and sharing the sheer thrill and joy of aerobatics—something Rob would have wanted us to do."
Phillip joined the board in 2023 and serves on the executive and finance committees. He was previously a member of the IAC Government Relations Committee from 2009-2016, and has been an IAC member since he was 16. He currently competes in the Intermediate Category with his S-2A.
The IAC is grateful for Phillip's leadership and volunteerism and thanks him for stepping up to accept the appointment.
