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. All members and the public are welcome to attend these meetings.

Each spring, MCOA holds its annual membership meeting in conjunction with the annual airports conference.  This meeting is combined with the annual educational enrichment program.  The enrichment program 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 an opportunity to learn from their experiences through general assembly presentations, concurrent workshops and open forums.  Contact GenAvCon at 218-828-5049 (e-mail: genavcon@charter.net) or Judy Meyers at MNDOT, 800-657-3922 for conference details.
