The Future of the Greater St Louis Business Aviation Association

The Greater St. Louis Business Aviation Association (GSLBAA) was formed as a way to better the future of the business aviation industry, at the local level, right here in the St. Louis region.



As a member of GSLBAA, you belong to a unique organization found in very few cities across the U.S. and one that should allow you to grow professionally with other pilots and associates in the aviation industry. GSLBAA is one of the oldest local professional aviation organizations in the country. Many other cities have patterned their organizations after us.



GSLBAA is intended to have a voice at the local, state, and regional level, allowing the organization to be more proactive, and effective, when issues are presented. A major goal of this organization is to be more in-tune to what is going on at the local level, and therefore, have the opportunity and resources to act in a more efficient and effective manner. The resources and industry positions of our members GSLBAA to achieve many goals in the future when issues are presented that can adversely, or positively, affect general and business aviation causes.



As it stands now the membership of GSLBAA sits at just over 200 people, which is down from around 240 people last year. GSLBAA meeting attendance runs between 35 to 80 members. We generally have a monthly luncheon meeting for 9 months of the year and the charity golf tournament highlighting the end of meetings until Fall. The attendance in golf tournament has gone down in the recent years, which might be a reflection of the economy, or it might be a reflection of the changing demographics of the membership. Either way it is vital for the Association to gauge this, understand this, and then to act accordingly, hence this Blog/Message-board.



Please use this space to input your own feelings, thoughts, ideas and suggestions on what GSLBAA means to you and what you would like it to mean for you. This is your opportunity to better define our organizations benefits and goals.



As the lottery say’s: “you can’t win, if you don’t play”, so lay it all out here so we can get this Association to the next higher level.



Sincerely,



John Henke



Vice President
