Since 1992, AOPA President Phil Boyer has held AOPA Pilot Town Meetings
across America, reviewing national developments in General Aviation and
engaging pilots on local GA issues. In more than 250 such meetings, Boyer has
set the pace for direct communication with the nation's pilots.
AOPA's Pilot Town Meetings offer pilots and aircraft owners a lively forum in
which to discuss matters that are important to them, exploring issues and
concerns with AOPA's president and with each other.
Boyer regards the Pilot Town Meeting as a learning vehicle for himself, too.
Indeed, his primary purpose in instituting them eight years ago was to become
more familiar with the concerns of pilots and owners through a direct,
personal exchange of views. He credits this continual feedback (in addition
to continual member research) with helping guide AOPA in constantly improving
its service to members. And that, in turn, has sparked the steady rise in
AOPA membership to its record of more than 370,000.
Boyer's multimedia presentations are fast-paced and high-tech, informative
and entertaining. And using new, interactive technology at each meeting,
about 50 randomly selected pilots participate in a real-time electronic poll
on a variety of issues. The audience sees the results instantly!
AOPA's Regional Representatives participate in Pilot Town Meetings in their
areas, and useful printed materials from AOPA and the AOPA Air Safety
Foundation are always available on-site.
AOPA Pilot Town Meetings begin at 7:30 p.m. and are open to all pilots.
Admission is FREE.
