AzAA Bylaws state that two (2) statewide meetings shall be held each year, in the fourth (Spring) and second (Fall) quarters of the fiscal year.

AzAA members will be notified via email when conference registration opens. Non-members should check back on the AzAA Website approximately 60 days prior to the conference for updates. Upcoming events are also included below.

Neilson A. Bertholf, known to everyone as "Dutch", has worked more than 50 years in the aviation industry.The Spring AzAA Conference was named after Dutch following his retirement from his final position, Director of the City Phoenix Aviation Department, overseeing Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, Deer Valley Airport and Goodyear Airport.

The Fall Conference is typically a one-day conference to maximize information sharing around the start of the new Federal fiscal year. The Fall Conference is titled the "Wally Burg" Annual Conference. Wally started his 36-year career with the Tucson Airport Authority (TAA) as a firefighter in 1966 while still in college and served as the Tucson Airport Director for 23 years, in addition to serving in several key local and national industry leadership positions.

    We are pleased to announce that AzAA Legislative Day at the Arizona State Capitol will be on Monday, January 27, 2025.

    As we did last year, we will be focusing on the opportunity to provide direct connection meetings with legislators inside the House and Senate office buildings. There will also be a proclamation read in the Senate for the occasion.

    If you (or your community) are interested in participating in the AzAA Legislative Day and meeting directly with your local legislators, please RSVP below. 

    The week before AzAA Legislative Day, we will provide you with a “cheat sheet” of statewide system talking points to help you get the conversations started with your legislators. You are responsible for your own airport-specific talking points.

    AzAA's lobbying firm will be scheduling the meetings with legislators. We will send out a Zoom meeting invitation to go over our talking points and help you feel a little more confident and comfortable going into your meetings.
