Aviation Organizations
The first organization that would be good to belong to is
the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE). This organization is meant
for airport managers and executives for commercial and general aviation airports.
AAAE members represent around 850 airports. The primary focus on developmental
opportunities through training, meetings/programs, and accreditation programs.
This programs gives advice on current airport needs and can create funds to
help with the future on airports. It is important for me to belong to this organization
because becoming an airport manager could be a possibility for me in the
future. This organization will be able to give me the inside scoop of industry
needs and where airports are headed in the future such as technology development.
The Airport
Minority Advisory Council (AMAC) is another organization that will be
beneficial in the future. The mission of this organization is to promote the
employment of woman to all levels of the airport branch, as well as the inclusion of the "Disadvantaged
Business Enterprise". The organization will be involved with rule making
and changes in airport procedures with regards to employment. The Canadian Prime Minister is creating a movement of woman in the workforce. This organization plays along with where I will be working and can gain valuable information. If I was to ever be an airport manager,
knowing rule changes and guidelines in the future will help me plan out who to
hire and how to do it. Diversity is ongoing, and being at the forefront can
only help me in the future. (AMAC, 2017)

These both sound like great organizations to be a member of. Personally, I choose AAAE as well because being on the management side of things this would benefit me the most. AMCA also sounds like an organization that is worth it as well. If airport manager is even a possibility in the future, this is a great path to get you started.

ReplyDeleteAmerican Association of Airport Executives is a great association for the management side of the aviation industry. To have an association that helps to sustain and expand airports is what the aviation industry needs.
