See a Preview of NBAA’s New Web Site, Launching Soon
NBAA will soon launch its completely redesigned web site, which will be easier to use and more clearly organized. Over the course of this year, NBAA
collected extensive feedback from Members on the Association’s current web site, which was introduced in 1995. Members reported that the site was a
great resource, but that it was sometimes difficult to find the information they were looking for. The architecture of the web site is being revised
to organize information more logically, and several new navigation features are being added to make NBAA’s many online resources easier to find.
“We’re doing this redesign to dramatically improve the experience of using of the site,” said NBAA’s Jason Wolf, director, Internet communications.
