We look forward to seeing you at the 49th Annual NAAA Convention & Exposition in Savannah, Ga., Dec. 7–10 at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center! Join us for the NAAA General Session, which is the educational anchor on the second day of the convention and this year’s session is one that every applicator ought to attend. 

As Baby Boomer owner/operators prepare for retirement, the question of how to transition their businesses looms large. Challenges include planning for retirement, identifying a potential successor, deciding whether and how to sell the business and handling an array of financial and legal considerations. Generation X and Millennial successors, meanwhile, face questions around whether and how to buy the business, as well as a potentially long transition period. Mark your calendars for the 2015 NAAA Convention in Savannah, Ga. At the Dec. 8 General Session, a team of experts will explore the myriad facets of succession planning and take an in-depth look at the circumstances facing the agricultural aviation industry. 

Award Nominations Open

The aerial application industry is filled with exceptional individuals who go above and beyond, often with little fanfare. Please think about the special people you have known and worked with over the years and tell us why they deserve an NAAA Award. Awardees will be honored at NAAA’s Farewell/Awards Banquet on Dec. 10 starting at 5:45 p.m. in Savannah. There are nine NAAA Award categories and one NAAREF award, the Evans-Christopher Operation S.A.F.E. Award. The Awards Nomination Form is available as print-only and fillable PDF.
