Of Matters Oshkosh
Based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and boasting north of 260,000 members and 900 local chapters, the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) embodies the spirit of aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts.
On 12 December 2022, the EAA announced that Shelly deZevallos, Ed.D., had been named to the association’s Board of Directors as a Class III Director serving a one-year renewable term. Dr. deZevallos is president of West Houston Airport (IWS), a privately owned, public use, general aviation airport operated by her family for two generations.
EAA CEO and Chairman of the Board Jack J. Pelton remarked: “Shelly’s lifelong dedication to aviation-education and safety makes her a valuable addition to the organization as we look to improve and expand upon our current efforts.”
Dr. deZevallos is a member of the FAA’s Safety Oversight and Certification Advisory Committee and a board member of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). She is active with the National Academy of Sciences Transportation Research Board, and serves Texas on the TX-Dot Aviation Advisory Commission. deZevallos’s investment in her native Houston is evinced by the seat she holds on the San Jacinto Girl Scouts of America Leadership Council.
An active pilot and airplane owner, Dr. deZevallos holds a Commercial Pilot certificate with instrument, multi-engine, and glider ratings. She earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas, her EMBA from Texas A&M, and her Doctorate of Education in Aviation and Space Science from Oklahoma State University.
