Wichita Will Host NASAO Meeting
State aviation officials from across the United States will be
in Wichita for the 2010 National Association of State Aviation
Officials (NASAO) convention. "Aviation 2020 and Beyond: A Clear
Vision for the Future" is the theme for the convention to be held
at the Hyatt Regency Wichita September 11-15, 2010.
The line-up of forum speakers includes top executives from
Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security
Administration, National Transportation Safety Board, aviation
consulting firms and local manufacturers. These professionals will
share their views on current and future issues affecting the
industry and insight on new aviation products and services.
"NASAO board, members, and staff are delighted to celebrate our
79th conference in the Air Capital of the World," said Henry
Ogrodzinski, NASAO president and CEO. "Our robust agenda covers a
wide variety of 21st century challenges. We look forward to sharing
this information with our colleagues throughout the industry."
Ed Young, Kansas DOT Division of Aviation director adds "Wichita
is a perfect location to discuss the future of aviation. Pioneering
aviation innovation is our specialty."
Founded in 1931, the National Association of State Aviation
Officials is one of the most senior aviation organizations in the
United States, predating even the Federal Aviation Administration's
predecessor, the Civil Aeronautics Authority. "Wichita has a rich
history of producing more general aviation aircraft here than any
other place in the world," said Victor White, director of Wichita's
Airport System. "We are thrilled to be partners in hosting aviation
leaders from around the country to see why Wichita holds such a
special place in the aviation industry."
John Rolfe, Go Wichita Convention & Visitors Bureau
president and CEO, agrees. "The aviation industry is vital to
Wichita and we are honored that NASAO would hold its national
convention in our city," said Rolfe.
