Seaplane Pilots Association’s Field Directors are the heavy lifting arm of our volunteer advocacy team; their duties are widely varied depending on their region and individual skill sets. Essentially, SPA desires to maintain a team of Field Directors in every state in the United States and in regions around the world. These teams work together to insure that SPA maintains a strong presence in the community and at aviation events in their region, helps address advocacy issues and assists in maintaining the Water Landing Directory.
Field Directors are essentially the eyes and ears that help SPA maintain situational awareness in a given geographic region. Additionally, they are the first responders to advocacy issues and conduct the majority of the public outreach and community relationships in their respective region.
