GMAA 2009

Welcome to the GMAA,

As we commence on a new year after the GMAA elections, our new board has grown in depth with the addition of four new members as well as the now tenured majority members from the past several years. An abundance of new ideas to move our organization forward and proposals that are on the table or in the various committee forums will enhance our organization and benefit our membership.

In the past year we have added a dozen airlines, and many other aviation business ventures to our membership roles. We have several strategies to enhance membership even more this year. One such proposal, being a website based monthly newsletter to keep our members and friends informed on news and activities happening around our community.

We have united with other aviation organizations and their committees to battle government changes that may negatively affect every member’s pocketbook with tax exemption changes from our state representatives. A committee to monitor future changes will be established to stay on top of the issues that impact our industry.

This year’s Officers and Board of Directors gives us more balance and widens our business acumen to enable the GMAA to take on some of these challenges. Our ability to get more input and participation from you, the membership on our committees would improve our success in these initiatives.

We look forward to a year of progress and success in raising funds for our scholarship fund and moving your business in the direction of positive outcomes by being a member of the GMAA.

Thank you for your participation in our meetings and social events, your contributions to our scholarship fund, and helping the GMAA improve the business environment in these challenging times.

Best regards,

Dan Sullivan
President
