The National Association of State Aviation Officials, (NASAO) says that after struggling with an inefficient website designed more than a decade ago, staff and members are now working with a new cutting-edge site that has been designed to be more helpful, informative, and easier to navigate for all users. The new website is located at www.nasao.org.

NASAO teamed with Whereoware - an online strategy, design, development and marketing firm based in Herndon, Virginia - to create a site, which according to NASAO, has a fresh feel appealing to a wide audience while at the same time providing powerful search capability of NASAO's library content.

 The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association has committed to hold their general aviation trade show and convention, AOPA Aviation Summit, at the Palm Springs Convention Center Oct. 11-13, 2012 and Oct. 9-11, 2014.

The AOPA Aviation Summit features dozens of aircraft on display at the Palm Springs Convention Center, more than 400 booths in the exhibit hall and an enhanced education series offered over the course of three days.

The organization has not been to Palm Springs since 2006.  Since then, almost $200 million has been spent to build new hotels and upgrade existing facilities. The summit is expected to generate $12 million in economic impact.
