GMAA'S Monthly Luncheon.... It was Great!

The Greater Miami Aviaiton Association's April Luncheon was a great success.

There were great spirits in the Marriott Airport Hotel full of members of the association and new members.

The speaker for the event Steve Belleme spoke on the expansions being made at Ft.Lauderdale Airport and also the new success the airport and Port Everglades will have.

The room did not miss a beat of Mr. Belleme's description of how the Broward's transportation by Flight, Land and Sea will be increased drastically.

One of our highlights of the event were the Florida Memorial Students that stood up and gave a short introduction of themselves.

Seeing the future of Aviation helped us to see the bigger picture....

As old President Dan Sullivan passed the baton to the new former President Mark Hendeson, it showed that GMAA's 83 year old legacy will live on, and on, and on.

Here's a little info on the GMAA

South Florida's Aviation Industry & its airports generate an estimated annual economic impact in excess of $18.5 billion. Of Miami-Dade's 1,000,000 jobs, more than 200,000 are aviation related.

The GMAA was formed in 1927 to increase public awareness of aviation & highlight the expanding role of aviation in our community.

The GMAA provides a forum for the sharing of opinions & concerns of the industry, government, civic leaders & others with an interest in the past, current & future activities of aviation.

The GMAA cooperates with other organizations sharing common goals & promoting the aviation industry as a good neighbor in the community & sponsors positive action programs promoting aviation interests & supports sound legislation benefiting the aviation industry.

We at Bunkers Today Salute the GMAA...

Their work is never finished.
