NBAA has launched a Legacy Society advanced-level membership as the association celebrates its 75th anniversary. The Legacy Society provides a venue for members to honor milestones and pledge commitments to NBAA and its charities supporting scholarships.

Members can designate where the scholarship funds are directed. Legacy Society members also will be recognized at all NBAA 75th anniversary events, including this week at NBAA-BACE 2022, as well as in future milestone years.

“The NBAA Legacy Society is an opportunity for member organizations to elevate their commitment to NBAA and business aviation,” said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. “The society honors the past 75 years of industry achievements and growth while looking to the future of business aviation.”

Initial members include Airbus Corporate Jets, Textron Aviation, Raytheon Technologies, Boeing, ForeFlight, and Boeing Business Jets. NBAA, however, added that multiple organizations have provided a commemorative-level contribution, including those that have asked to remain anonymous.

“This anniversary year offers an opportunity for everyone to take part in telling our industry’s story of innovation and achievement so that business aviation is even stronger seven decades from today,” said Bolen. “In that spirit, this special anniversary-year membership is a way to recognize the industry’s past and ensure its continued success.”
