What We Do:
the WVAMA provides up-to-date information to our members about key issues that impact West Virginia airports.
the WVAMA sponsors an annual conference which provides opportunities for learning about the latest issues affecting our airports, social interaction with fellow aviation professionals and discovering sources for aviation-related products and services. In addition, engineers have an opportunity to gain professional development hours through specially-created courses held during the conference.
the WVAMA sponsors the West Virginia Aviation Hall of Fame and the West Virginia Aviation Wall of Valor. Each year, aviation pioneers are recognized for their contributions to the development, advancement and promotion of aviation in the State of West Virginia and for acts of valor in an aviation-related action. The honorees are recognized through a special award dinner and induction ceremony held concurrently with the annual Aviation Conference.
the WVAMA provides internships and scholarships to students who have a dream to pursue a career in aviation.
the WVAMA provides industry input into decisions affecting aviation and airports through communications with local, state and federal leaders. Through its membership base, the WVAMA has relationships with each legislator in the state, as well as West Virginia's congressional delegation.
