Airport Operations & Land Use Seminar

by Hal Davis
WisDOT Bureau of Aeronautics

Each fall, the Wisconsin Bureau of Aeronautics holds a two-day Airport Operations & Land Use Seminar for the people responsible for managing our state’s airports. This seminar provides airport managers with the information and tools they need to take on the day’s challenges.

Back by popular demand, the 2014 seminar will focus several sessions on “Airport Management 101.” Topics will include airport funding, leasing, pavement maintenance, snow removal, tree clearing and more. Whether you are new to airport management or a seasoned veteran, these sessions will be packed with useful information and best practices for all to benefit from.

We will also welcome presenters from the Federal Aviation Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture – Wildlife Services, Airport Cooperative Research Program, Experimental Aircraft Association, and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. There’s no better platform for interacting with FAA officials, BOA staff, airport consultants, and other airport managers all in one place.

We invite all airport managers, airport owners, airport committee members, city administrators, and anyone else who has a hand in managing an airport to attend.

The 2014 Airport Operations & Land Use Seminar will take place Wednesday, September 24 and Thursday, September 25, 2014 at the Holiday Inn and Convention Center in Stevens Point, Wis.
