National agricultural aviation association
Membership
The National Agricultural Aviation Association represents the interests of small business owners and pilots licensed as commercial applicators that use aircraft to enhance food, fiber and bioenergy production, protect forestry and control health-threatening pests.
As the voice of the aerial application industry, NAAA provides national representation before the federal government, brand protection, continuing education and safety programs, seeks technology and research funding and hosts the world’s largest agricultural aviation show each year. Furthermore, through its affiliation with the National Agricultural Aviation Research & Education Foundation (NAAREF), NAAA contributes to research and educational programs focused on enhancing the efficacy, security and safety of aerial application.
NAAA represents more than 1,600 members in 46 states. To join the association, join online, download the Print Application or contact NAAA at (202) 546-5722 or information@agaviation.org.
When you become an NAAA member, you are making an important investment in yourself and your business.
That holds true whether you have worked in the aerial application industry for decades or have a passion for aviation and agriculture and are interested in becoming a professional ag pilot. The payoff far exceeds what you will spend in dues in the form of effective advocacy, national representation, education and safety programs and the personal connections you will make as you participate in association activities.
As the voice of the aerial application industry, NAAA is committed to creating a positive business climate, promoting safety and professionalism, improving the industry’s public image and influencing public policy in a way that is beneficial to aerial application. Here are some concrete examples of how NAAA benefits the industry and you as a member.
