    Remembering Peter Anderson

    On January 27th, the Pacific Northwest lost a true aviation legend. Peter G. Anderson, the nephew of Jim Galvin passed away. He is survived by his wife Sarah, two children and grandchildren. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, March 2nd 4:00 pm at The Museum of Flight to honor his legacy.

    Peter was an inspiration to many in the aviation industry, following the footsteps of his uncle who started Galvin Flying in 1930. He was extremely active supporting the Seattle general aviation community with his involvement at The Museum of Flight, Raisbeck Aviation High School and PNBAA in its founding years. Peter’s vision continues at Galvin Flight Training, where the passion of aviation flows into future aviators each day. Peter will be missed by many within PNBAA and has left a profound impact on those that knew him well.

    January 2019 News

     

    Welcome to the Board of Directors!

    At the December Member Meeting & Holiday Party the PNBAA membership elected the next class to the board of directors. New board members Jackie Charles-Spears and Scott Helms are joining incumbents Scott Jefvert, Frank Madison and David Warner.

    Jackie is a Senior Flight Coordinator at Nordstrom, Inc. with a wealth of experience bringing the aviation community together. She was recently co-vice chair of Women in Corporate Aviation and previously the co-president of the Pacific Rim Schedulers and Dispatchers Association (PRSDA). PRSDA merged with PNBAA in 2016. Two years ago Jackie was also instrumental connecting the PNBAA philanthropy committee to the Red-Tailed Hawks Flying Club. PNBAA now supports their mission to introduce aviation to under-served youth.

    Scott is an FBO industry veteran and mostly recently joined Kenmore Aero Services as its General Manager in 2017. He has been one of the friendliest connectors at Boeing Field over the years previously working at Landmark and Galvin Flying Services. Scott has experience volunteering in this aviation community also serving on the former PRSDA board of directors. Scott is a bit of an aviation history buff, so exercise caution if he suggests a trivia wager.

    Please share a heartfelt thanks to outgoing directors Kimberly Perkins, Ryan Setting, Wayne Werner and Stacey Woods.These directors, often behind the scenes, strengthened our diverse programs, grass roots advocacy and membership experience.


    Congratulations Members Brian Roger & Danny Yazzolino!

    Brian Roger and Danny Yazzolino have both been awarded 2018 member grants up to $2,500. The board of directors presented three awards last year to members furthering their business aviation career aspirations.The member grants have proven a successful component to PNBAA's annual philanthropy plan. Thank each of YOU for being an annual member, participating and sponsoring the 2018 programs that funded these opportunities.

    Brian is Aerius Management corporate pilot with a vision to pay it forward. He will use the PNBAA grant to help complete his CFI certificate this year and then share some of his time-off teaching the next generation of pilots in the Seattle area. 


    Danny has invested heavily in personal development within the FBO environment at the growing Hillsboro Aviation. The PNBAA grant now provides him a clear path to complete NBAA Professional Development Program courses. Fulfilling those prerequisites he will complete the Certified Aviation Manager exam this year.

    Congratulations Brian and Danny!


    2019 Program & Event Preview

    The PNBAA community will have both familiar and new opportunities to engage in 2019. Strategically the board and committees are improving your experiences with these goals in mind:

    • Provide educational programs that capture more unique topics
    • Provide experiences that encourage more business aviation peers to participate – half will be free
    • Provide participants and sponsors a consistent professional experience with the hire of an Event Planning Coordinator

    Keep an eye out for newsletter announcements and event sites for details. Below is a preview of 2019 programs and events in development.

    We will kick off the year with a Portland Area BizAv Social event on Tuesday, March 12th 4:30 - 6:30 pm. FREE registration and sponsorship opportunities are available on the event site

    Job Opportunity: Event Planning Coordinator 

    PNBAA is planning to hire an Event Planning Coordinator (EPC) to manage the execution of our year-round programs and events. The increasing size and success of these experiences necessitates this important role.

    At a high level, this independent contractor role will be conducing most of the planning and execution of all programs and events. A volunteer committee will provide direction, supplemental support and lead fundraising. It is anticipated the EPC role would require about 750 hours annually. The workload would be distributed in a ramp-up pattern for each program, which are spread throughout the year.

    Golf Tournament Brings Out 300+

    Last month the PNBAA community enjoyed a picture perfect day for the 10th annual Golf Tournament. It was the largest PNBAA engagement yet with 300+ golfers, sponsors and volunteers covering two courses.

    Special thanks to Title, Golf Ball and Hole Sponsor Dassault Falcon Jet  and the record number of supporters for making this unprecedented engagement possible. 

    Dozens of participants won golf and raffle prizes to boast about. The 10th place golfers won the biggest prize as a fun way to honor this 10th year. Congratulations Lukas Cannon, Mick Kendall, Bill Appleton and Jake Nicol!

    Pictured below are happy golfers, sponsors and volunteers hard at work:

    10th Annual Golf Tournament - Four Week Countdown

    Tuesday, September 18, 2018

    The Golf Club at Newcastle

    The Golf Committee is knee deep in preparations. Hopefully everyone else is just as excited to engage 300+ business aviation professionals in less than four weeks. Title Sponsor Dassault Falcon Jet is providing proprietary golf balls with anti-hook/slice treatment to tighten up the scores. The 10th place team will receive a special prize in honor of the tournament's 10th anniversary!

    Do you want to play? There are about dozen golfer registrations available now. Sign up! A wait-list will follow and be fulfilled by cancellations/sponsor donations.

    Alternatively, would you rather enjoy a late afternoon miniature golf contest plus partake in the social experience? Register for the "Rusty Putter Miniature Golf contest/19th Hole/Dinner & Awards Ceremony" package for just $75. This is a fun new experience for the rest of us who don't wear golf attire.

    The tournament expansion into both courses has yielded more sponsorship opportunities for every budget. Flight departments are jumping into the mix to demonstrate PNBAA support and expand their team's participation. All organizations please consider joining this experience with a sponsorship package.

    Finally, the Golf Committee is looking for a unique "photo volunteer" to take lively outtake pictures and create the PowerPoint slideshow for dinner. If this role may be of interest, email volunteer leader Kristin Kirschbaum.
