By Yasmina Platt
AOPA Central Southwest Regional Manager
For the first time, your association, Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), hosted a booth and the Airport Support Network (ASN) Volunteer Reception during the 31st Annual Texas Aviation Conference in Austin held May 13-15. The booth provided an opportunity to meet and network with aviation industry stakeholders from all around Texas, showcase AOPA’s efforts to preserve your freedom to fly and promote the upcoming AOPA Summit scheduled for October 10-12 in Fort Worth.
In addition to the booth, AOPA held an afternoon reception with a few local ASN volunteers and elected officials, as well as TxDOT Aviation Director Dave Fulton. The ASN program is still looking for volunteers in the state. The list below shows some of the Texas airports that currently need an ASN Volunteer. For information about the Airport Support Network (ASN) program and to view a complete list of airports that need volunteers, visit http://www.aopa.org/Advocacy/Get-Involved/Airport-Support-Network.aspx.
