Committees
Much of the Association's work is carried out by committees of volunteers from our member airlines and organizations.

Sponsorship Committee
The Sponsorship committee consists of PBA member volunteers whose objective is to secure monetary support from the member carriers in order to help defray the cost of the Annual Conference. Committee members must be willing to contact PBA member carriers to ask for their financial assistance each year. The Sponsorship Committee is also responsible for soliciting Host Carriers for upcoming Conferences. Initial contact, follow-up, and follow-through are required. The Committee meets via conference calls and communicates via e-mail messages several times from early spring through to the fall. Volunteers on this Committee are required to be resilient, tenacious, and have excellent communication skills.

The Committee is also responsible for maintaining and updating the PBA website. Volunteers on this committee are required to be organized, analytical, detail-oriented, creative, and have a general working knowledge of website design.

Membership Committee
The Membership Committee consists of PBA member volunteers whose responsibilities include recruiting for members and compiling applications from prospective new member carriers. The Committee advises prospective carriers of the requirements and ensures criteria have been met. The Membership Committee will create an introduction packet to provide to prospective members. The Membership Committee submits proposed carriers' applications to the board and member carriers for acceptance at the annual Conference.
