Interested in Volunteering or Holding a Board Position?
If you are interested in volunteering, we can place you as a volunteer on one or more of our committees. Expectations are that you participate in the monthly committee conference calls. You are not required to attend board meetings, but you are welcome to do so. Contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in volunteering. If you are interested in serving as a Director for the Ohio Aviation Association, please read through the responsibilities above and be familiar with the Constitution & Bylaws, found here. You should have the heart to serve all aviation in Ohio, and have the support of your employer as our monthly meetings occur during the day throughout Ohio. We hold elections each year during the annual conference, or if a position is vacated. It is recommended that you first volunteer for a committee.
