GCSI Association Services

Founded in 1998, the GCSI Association Services (MBAA) has been a dedicated advocate for business aviation infrastructure and policy advancement across Michigan. Our mission centers on preserving and developing efficient air transportation systems through legislative advocacy, member engagement, and educational initiatives. With a focus on airport infrastructure funding, we successfully influenced the $70 million Airport Safety and Protection plan in 2002, which leveraged over $1 billion in total investments for Michigan airports. Our team works closely with state officials and industry stakeholders to address aviation challenges while promoting economic growth through accessible air travel. We provide professional development opportunities through events like the Women's Aviation Career Symposium and leadership training programs.

Our scholarship initiatives, managed through the Michigan Business Aviation Foundation, cultivate future industry leaders by supporting educational opportunities. As a member-driven organization, we represent corporations, aircraft operators, vendors, educators, and aviation enthusiasts united by a shared commitment to Michigan's aviation ecosystem. Our advocacy efforts have directly shaped policy outcomes, including the 2012 legislation dedicating aviation fuel tax revenue to state aeronautics funds. We maintain a balanced approach to transportation policy, emphasizing the critical role of airports in corporate competitiveness and job creation. Through consistent outreach and collaboration, we strive to enhance understanding of aviation's economic impact among policymakers and the public.
