State Advocacy Network 
 
 
 
General aviation businesses are confronted with issues that require prompt attention, including airport and land use, security, taxation, aircraft noise and emissions, and other priorities that arise. It is important to act fast and effectively to protect and preserve aviation businesses. In an effort to strengthen its government advocacy, NATA has developed a State Advocacy Network (SAN) to stay ahead of and defend against unwarranted issues in every state throughout the county. The network is made up of regional volunteers who act as representatives to keep each other and the association informed of pressing issues in their state.
  
SAN will benefit its members by:
  • Protecting general aviation businesses from unnecessary state and local legislation or regulation
  • Preventing unnecessary state taxation on aviation businesses
  • Promoting, protecting and defending our community airports
  • Maintaining sufficient state and local funding for general aviation airports and infrastructure

If you would like to volunteer or if you have questions about the State Advocacy Network, email SAN@nata.aero.
