Daniel Prentice has edited AKA’s quarterly Kiting magazine for the last 10 years.  He’s done an exceptional job communicating the joys of kite flying through our magazine.  He says that this “has been one of the highlights of my work in the kite community.”  He’s decided that it’s time to step aside and let someone else share their vision of the AKA kite world. We are sincerely grateful for his services on our behalf for the last 10 years. 

AKA is searching for a new Editor for Kiting magazine.  The Kiting Editor’s job is challenging but includes the built-in reward of working with kite people all over the world.  

The Kiting Editor is paid per issue on a fixed price basis, including labor, overhead, general, and administrative expenses, use of computers and other office equipment. The AKA Board of Directors decides compensation. AKA will also reimburse reasonable travel, hotel, and registration expenses for the Editor’s attendance at our Annual Meeting and Convention.
