John Witzig of Pfizer was named to a second term as chairman of the NBAA board and Matt Byrd of Hillwood Aviation has taken the role of vice chair/treasurer of the business aviation association.
Witzig and Bryd were among several of those elected during the NBAA board of directors annual meeting last week at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas. Daniel Baker, founder of FlightAware and currently with BakerVentures, and Tyson Weihs, ForeFlight co-founder and currently with Makana Holdings Management, were each re-elected to three-year terms on the board of directors.
Other moves included a change in the Advisory Council: Bill Dolny of MedAire replaced Weihs as chair; Lannie O’Bannion of Textron Aviation will serve as first vice chair; and Joe Barber of Clay Lacy Aviation is second vice chair. Dolny, O’Bannion, and Barber also will serve as the business member advisors on the NBAA board. 
Ron Duncan, Monte Koch, and Lloyd “Fig” Newton each are returning for another one-year term as chair emeritus, providing mentorship and guidance to directors.
