Activities and events:
During the year, (except for July)
the MCOA Board of Directors meet monthly.
Special informational meetings to address specific issues are held as necessary
at the call of the Chair. On a quarterly basis, the Board holds their
monthly meeting at various locations across the state to give communities, local
officials, and residents the opportunity to see the Board in action and provide
input to MCOA initiatives. These meetings are held the second Friday of the
Month and normally start at 9:30AM. All members and the public are welcome to attend
these meetings.
Each spring, MCOA holds its annual membership
meeting in conjunction with the annual Minnesota Airports Conference. This meeting
is combined with the annual educational enrichment program which includes technical and safety presentations, an industry
trade show, an awards and recognition program, scholarships are presented, and
an exchange of information regarding resolution of issues or problems.
Experts in aviation and aerospace fields from across the nation give the
membership an
opportunity to learn from their experiences through general assembly
presentations, concurrent workshops and open forums. Contact GenAvCon at 218-828-5049 (e-mail:
