On 3 Feb. 1909, the Board of Governors of the Automobile Club of America voted to establish an aeronautic department. It was to be formally organized on 9 February at a meeting to which members of the Automobile Club of America and the Aeronautic Society were invited. Reportedly, an agreement was reached by the end of March by which the Aero Club of America became thereafter the Aviation Section of the Automobile Club of America. The two organizations were to work together for the advancement of aeronautics in the USA.
