EBAA Successfully Reforms Membership Voting Structure
Newly ratified system offers one vote for all members
Stage full of people
Members gathered for the EBAA Membership Convention and AGM in Genval, Brussels, from March 19 to 20.

The European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) has successfully passed a motion that promises “one member, one vote”—reforming a system that has previously only allowed “full” (operator) members a say in decisions at the organization’s General Assembly. The proposal was approved during the second day of EBAA’s annual general conference in Genval, Belgium.

EBAA associate member advisory council chair Janine Iannarelli said the restructuring of members’ voting rights forms part of work to “reform the foundation of [the] association,” something she believes is “fundamental.” However, with associate members—typically non-operators—having expressed concern for the last few years at their lack of voting rights, “there were many debates that went on at the board level and among the working group to come up with an equitable solution,” she explained.
