MARPA Winter Meeting

The MARPA Winter Meeting is an annual "open board meeting" attended by the MARPA Board of Directors and open to all MARPA members in good standing. There is no charge to attend. The 2025 MARPA Winter Meeting took place on February 11, 2025 at the Vertical Aviation International (VAI) headquarters office in Alexandria, VA.

The Winter Meeting is an intimate opportunity to work closely with the Board on a topics of special interest to MARPA members. The agenda focuses on discussing MARPA's strategic objectives, initiatives, and plans. Members can have their voices heard about matters of importance to their company and to help shape our association,  weighing in on things like future MARPA event details, MARPA Committee initiatives, dues structures and member benefits, strategic direction, FAA-PMA promotion and more.

Strategic discussions at past MARPA Winter Meetings are responsible for many exciting MARPA programs like our export promotion initiative and partnership with the International Trade Administration, the development of the MARPA EMEA Conference, collaboration with industry events to increase global FAA-PMA education, virtual training sessions, and increasing benefits to MARPA Members.

MARPA Winter Meetings also typically include presentations by government and trade association representatives. In previous years, we have welcomed invited representatives from the FAA, EASA, the U.S. Department of Commerce, GAMA, A4A, and other relevant agencies and associations.
