Founded in 1959, the Minnesota Soaring Club (MSC) is governed by an elected Board of Directors and a set of By-laws and is a Chapter of the Soaring Society of America.

The Board consists of six members. A President, Vice-president, Secretary and Treasurer elected annually at the fall membership picnic.  The Board then appoints the Operations Director and Equipment Director. The appointed Directors are responsible for scheduling daily training, flight operations and equipment maintenance. See the current Leadership Team here.

Members join by purchasing a share of the club's assets.  Shares can be purchased in 1/3, 2/3 or full portions.  Voting privileges are governed by the amount of ownership.  Annual dues are assessed from each member with the fractional share owner paying a higher rate.

Members are expected to be available for scheduled field duty such as moving the equipment to and from the runways, performing daily inspections, scheduling flights, towing and instructing when qualified.

Flight time and tows are charged at rates well below commercial alternatives and there is no charge for instruction.
