he Institute for Defense and Government Advancement welcomes the Association of Naval Aviation as an official association partner for its upcoming Military Air Assets Exhibition and Conference. The event will take place this March 30–31, 2010 in at the Prime F. Osborn, III Convention Center in Jacksonville, Florida.
The Association of Naval Aviation is an advocate group for all aviation forces in the US Navy, US Marine Corps, and US Coast Guard. Most of its members are affiliated with the over 50 squadrons (chapters) of varying size in the U.S., UK, France, Italy and Australia. ANA’s influence reaches beyond its base in Alexandria, Virginia. These squadrons interface, insofar as possible, with active duty personnel, tour military facilities and ships, and hear presentations from key members of the military establishment, civic authorities and related government officials.
ANA has been designated by the Commander of Naval Air Forces as the principal civilian/retired support organization for Naval Aviation. “ANA’s mission is to serve as the principal association dedicated to expanding advocacy for Naval Aviation, and to educate and encourage an interest among the general public as to the importance of Naval Aviation in the defense of the United States and its allies,” said CAPT Rosario Rausa, Editor of Wings Of Gold. “We look forward to participating with the MAASEC organizers in support of this mission.”
“We are thrilled to partner with The Association of Naval Aviation,” Michael Gallo, Managing Director of IDGA Exhibitions, states. “MAASEC provides the perfect forum for their members to view the latest products and services as well as network with their peers and attend top-notch educational sessions.”
The Military Air Assets Exhibition and Conference’s purpose is to provide a domestic home for the joint military aviation community where personnel involved in fixed wing, rotorcraft and unmanned systems will come together in a comprehensive conference agenda with cutting-edge exhibitors.
By creating this forum, DoD, DHS, program managers, international partners, vendors, and academia will unite to discuss joint initiatives, individual programs and share best practices in support of the US military aviation community. We are flattered to have the support of the Association of Naval Aviation on this upcoming event. They are a highly esteemed organization and we are honored to have the opportunity to work with them.
