Founded in 1931, NASAO is one of the most senior aviation organizations in the United States, predating even the Federal Aviation Administration's predecessor, the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The states first established NASAO to ensure uniformity of safety measures, to standardize airport regulations, and to develop a truly national air transportation system responsive to local, state, and regional needs. The association's members are the officials who run state government aviation agencies across all 50 states, plus Guam and Puerto Rico. The organization has held its Annual Convention & Trade Show for decades; NASAO was organized in 1931 and held its 92nd Annual Convention and trade show in Rogers, Arkansas in mid-September 2023. The 2026 Grand Forks event marks the 95th edition.
