Of all of the organizations that I have come across over the
years I have attended Eastern the one that stands out the most to me is the American Association of Airport Executives. It
wasn’t until this year that I first heard of the organization and decided that
it would be beneficial for me to become a member at some point. AAAE is an
organization dedicated to representing airport management across the country
and serving its members through representation in government, training, and
industry services. AAAE helps its
members reach their goals by providing tools for airport managers to create an
effective training program. They offer on-site courses, taught by trained
professionals, and an Interactive Employee Training system.
Another group that I find interesting and relevant to those
in the management side of the industry is the National
Association of State Aviation Officials. Established in 1931 the NASAO is
one of the most senior aviation organizations in the United States. NASOA, in
contrast to many special interest groups, does not just focus on one issue but
focusses on all aspects of the aviation industry. In 2015 they have been active
in advocating in aviation fuel taxes, FAA authorization, Pilots Bill of Rights
legislation, the pilot shortage, and UAS. I think that this organization is
important because working in state government is at the top of my career
choices and the organization focuses on the issues that I will be dealing with
in a few years.

AAAE is a very good organization to be apart of. They offer numerous benefits to people looking to work in the management side of aviation. This organization can only help someone looking for jobs and is a great way to meet people in the industry as well.
