January 1st, 2010, marked Craig Fuller’s first year in
office as the President and C.E.O. of AOPA. Only the fourth
person to hold the position since AOPA’s beginning in 1939,
Fuller continues to lead the largest aviation organization in the
world. With over 414,000 members, representing more than two
thirds of all certified pilots in the United States, the AOPA
provides a variety of services to its worldwide membership
including legal representation, medical resources, safety courses
and seminars, aircraft insurance, and more.
In addition to his role as AOPA President, Fuller serves as
president for the International Council of Aircraft Owner and Pilot
Associations having been elected to lead 66 national AOPA
organizations representing more than 470,000 members
worldwide.
As chairman of the Political Action Committee, Fuller has a
significant responsibility ensuring that elected officials who
protect general aviation receive pilot community support.
Fuller, however, is well versed with political leadership of such
magnitude. Prior to his role at AOPA, he served as the
assistant to President Reagan for Cabinet Affairs and chief of
staff to then Vice President George H.W. Bush.
As one can imagine, then, Fuller spends a considerable time in
the air traveling to meet with both membership representatives and
speak on behalf of membership needs across the country.
Whether emphasizing the vital role of general aviation, or
recruiting new pilots and industry leaders, AOPA’s President
relies on the very transportation he dedicates his time
protecting. Join Aero-TV as we ask AOPA C.E.O. and President,
Craig Fuller, how he travels to and from his many outreach
missions.
