Thank you for your support as a 2022 member! If you have not yet renewed, your membership grace period ends Feb. 15. Do we have your support for 2023? Renew online or over the phone at (202) 546-5722.

NAAA is committed to creating a positive business climate, promoting safety and professionalism, improving the industry’s public image, and influencing policy in a way that is beneficial to the aerial application industry. Our industry’s importance to global food, fiber and bioenergy production comes at a crucial time as NAAA fights to ensure the aerial use of pesticides remains available and abundant while other government and activist interests work to cancel or impose unnecessary and burdensome use restrictions. It takes your membership resources to save these aerial uses and positively represent the industry before the public.

Resources supplied by your membership are what allows for NAAA to succeed on many issues, including the fighting and winning on important issues like exemptions from FAA user fees and federal fuel excise taxes; tower marking requirements; safety requirements for drones flying near manned, low-altitude aircraft; and as stated above, ensuring EPA keeps a healthy inventory of pesticide products for aerial use without unnecessary restrictions.

Set Yourself Up for Success; Renew Your Membership

As the industry enters its second century, NAAA and NAAREF have developed a way to augment industry advancement of safety and application accuracy while showing your customers, regulators, insurers, pesticide manufacturers, and the public the professional nature of the industry. Our new Certified-Professional Aerial Applicator Safety Steward (C-PAASS) program, launching this year, will fill that very role for those that want to participate. We know education works to reduce accidents and drift occurrences based on PAASS program stats. Since the first PAASS season in 1998-1999, the ag aviation accident rate (number of accidents per 100,000 hours flown) has dropped by nearly 26%, and the fatal accident rate has dropped by 10%.

Please make it a priority to renew your NAAA membership—the payoff far exceeds what you will spend in dues in the form of effective advocacy that reduces regulation and taxes affecting your aerial application business, and trade association membership dues are tax deductible.
