NAMA - Nevada Airport Managers Association

 

by Kay Bennett,
Co-Manager, Silver Springs Airport


The Nevada Airport Managers welcome you. A vast array of airports serves Nevada in many ways. From ultramodern to simple gravel strips, we have them all. Our association is here to assist airport managers throughout our state in maintaining their airports through provision of information and education, legislative advocacy and networking.

We meet twice a year. In the spring to share ideas, get the latest information from our regional FAA office and mentor one another in our latest airport projects. We hold another general meeting and workshop in the fall in conjunction with our affiliation with Nevada Association of Counties.

A significant accomplishment for NAMA during the NV 2005 Legislative Session was the passage of a $500,000 appropriation to the NV Aviation Trust Fund for matching FAA grants and authorization of an interim study to recommend methods to sustain the fund. NAMA has graduated to a whole new level of interaction with NDOT and together we have a golden opportunity to help our eligible non-primary airports in ways that has never been done before. We will also participate heavily in the development of recommendations for the 2007 Legislature.

Working closely with Nevada Department of Transportation, the FAA, AOPA, a variety of professional services consultants and one another, we strive to provide a valuable service to our membership and the aviation community. We look forward to your participation. Please explore our website and don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
