New Program Offers Education, Networking Benefits

A new partnership will add some extra niceties for those under the National Business Aviation Association's umbrella, providing Clay Lacy Aviation's services under a special pilot program for members.

Clay Lacy Aviation isn't exactly a household name for the smaller operators in the GA scene, since it mostly deals in the management of private and business aircraft and jets. That makes them a long time friend of the NBAA, given their interest in keeping their customers nice and comfy. Now, Clay Lacy will create NBAA operating memberships for its managed aircraft clientele, granting access and eligibility to a "variety of key benefits" from both partnered groups. So far, the initiative is still somewhat new, so the Clay Lacy has been clear that it welcomes additional members and fleet operators to support the NBAA via the program. Once in, members can gain entrance to premier events, networking opportunities, professional development programs, webinars, discounts, information resources and volunteer opportunities through the NBAA’s various committees and professional groups.

“NBAA thanks Clay Lacy for partnering with us on this exciting initiative, and we are pleased to welcome its clients aboard for our shared mission of fostering business aviation and supporting all entrepreneurs and companies using aircraft for a business purpose,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen.

“NBAA has a tremendous responsibility to the business aviation industry, and we are constantly collaborating with them,” said Joe Barber, Chief Commercial Officer for Clay Lacy Aviation. “Our flight departments, professionals and aircraft owners gain from advocacy, professional development and an incredibly robust and authoritative resource hub. In the business of business aviation, NBAA plays a critical role in achieving our goals, and fostering a culture of learning and continuous improvement.”
