Following a mini-concert by local four-time Grammy-winning songwriter Josh Kear, NBAA’s 2023 Schedulers and Dispatchers Conference kicked off its opening session this morning in Nashville, Tennessee.

As the first show in the organization’s schedule this year, NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen explained that with the new year came a new Congress, one which among other tasks will have to negotiate a new FAA reauthorization. The aviation agency was last authorized in 2018 and that will sunset this year.
