With the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), we find ourselves in a
time of uncertainty across the nation and the globe. Please know that NAAA is
here to serve and support you!
NAAA staff continues to work during the normal business hours of
8:30 – 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, albeit through a remote office as most
staff are working from home. We may not be available to answer the main office
phone immediately, but our voicemail system will direct you to the staff person
you're trying to reach. If you don't reach them immediately, please leave a
message and we'll get right back to you. You can also email information@agaviation.org
and someone will be back in touch with you.
As you know, COVID-19 is highly contagious. NAAA strongly suggests
developing a set of precautions at your operation. In addition to washing your
hands regularly, continually wipe down the inside of your aircraft/helicopter
before and after use, office equipment, desks, phones, computers, any handles,
etc. For further information on COVID-19 and how to protect your business and
family, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www.cdc.gov.
All NAAA programming continues to proceed as is. We are still
planning for our Oct. 8‒
10, 2020, Board Meeting in Knoxville, Tenn., and our 2020 Ag Aviation Expo Dec. 7‒10 in Savannah. Our
eNewsletter, Fly Safe Messages, Agricultural Aviation magazine and
2020 NAAA Membership Directory should see no disruption at this time and we
continue to be active on social media.
NAAA has been serving the aerial application industry for 54 years
and we'll continue to do so. We understand that some people are experiencing an
uneasiness during these uncertain times. That is understandable. Yet,
always remember, we all are strong when we operate from that part of our
essence that is good, positive and courageous. It is in everyone's core.
And it is at this time when we must and will operate from that place, endure
and be stronger from it.
