Washington, DC, Oct. 6, 2015 ­– The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) announced today that Nevada Lt. Gov. Mark Hutchison will speak at NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA2015) and officially welcome attendees to Las Vegas, NV, where the show runs from Nov. 17 to 19.

Elected lieutenant governor in 2014, Hutchison also serves as chairman of the Nevada Commission on Tourism and vice chairman of the State Board of Transportation. He joins other Nevada state officials, including U.S. Rep. Dina Titus (D-1-NV), who will be participating in NBAA2015.

Hutchison is scheduled to speak during the show’s Second Day General Session on Wednesday, Nov. 18.

“We’re very pleased that Lt. Gov. Hutchison will join us in Las Vegas to welcome our attendees to NBAA2015 and his home state of Nevada,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “Lt. Gov. Hutchison has been a strong advocate for business aviation in the state, leading efforts to raise awareness of our industry’s role in driving economic growth.”

During his service in government, Hutchison has partnered with the Nevada Business Aviation Association and the Aerospace States Association (on which serves as vice chair) to host aviation events in Carson City, NV. Before his election as lieutenant governor, Hutchison served in the state Senate, representing Nevada’s 6th District, which includes parts of Las Vegas. He was elected in 2012, and previously served as chairman of the Nevada Commission on Ethics.

As the most important business aviation event of the year, NBAA2015 offers attendees an unparalleled opportunity to learn about the latest issues affecting the industry. And as the largest gathering of the industry in the world, NBAA2015 is the best place to review the latest business aviation products, technology and services, while participating in dozens of education sessions and making side-by-side comparisons of the most innovative aircraft on static display.

NBAA2015 will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, with two aircraft displays – an indoor one, on the exhibit floor of the convention center, and an outdoor display at Henderson Executive Airport (HND).
