Greetings,
As you may recall, we complete the yearly election for the APA Board of Directors at our Annual Meeting in the May timeframe. All BOD positions are filled by volunteers for three-year terms which are staggered to ensure board continuity. We’re extremely fortunate to have a great team and I know that each of them works hard to ensure that APA remains the voice of general aviation in Arizona.
Here’s a summary of the APA elected officers, directors, and committee members for 2025 – 2026.
