Since 1998, NBAA’s regional representatives have provided a vital link between the association and local and regional business aviation stakeholders on matters affecting the industry. Recently, NBAA rebranded their role as regional directors to better reflect how their jobs have evolved to include “directing advocacy and [providing] support for our members, industry stakeholders, opinion leaders and government officials — bringing positive results on issues, challenges and opportunities, not only at the local and state level, but at the national level,” said Steve Hadley, senior director of the NBAA Regional Program and Southwest Central regional director. “Rather than just representing NBAA, we are involved in making a difference in every aspect of business aviation.”
In this episode of NBAA’s “Flight Plan,” host Rob Finfrock speaks with:
- Brittany Davies, NBAA Northeast regional director
- Steve Hadley, senior director of the NBAA Regional Program and Southwest Central regional director
The NBAA Flight Plan podcast, which ran from 2009 to 2025, provided an overview of important developments affecting NBAA members, and the association’s work to advocate for their interest. The archive of past episodes will remain available for your enjoyment. Please note that no new episodes will be released.
