Here you can join the PA Drone Association to the level that best fits your budget and your needs.
Our Mission
The PA Drone Association is experiencing rapid growth from industries and individual members, alike. It is this bridging between the incredible aviation expertise and experience we have in our commonwealth (the supply) and the efforts to improve and enhance your company’s work flow with the latest innovations (the demand) that the PA Drone Association finds its most effective mission.
Our Goals
Our programming and agenda for 2024 are ambitious, and we would like for your company or you individually to join us on this journey. Here is a sampling of where our energies are targeted moving ahead in 2024:
- Launching of the “Blue Collar” Drone Initiative aimed at increasing the awareness and accessibility of drones into everyday work.
- Creation of a Drone Services Directory to provide easy access to our drone operators in the commonwealth and region.
- Hosting of numerous networking and educational events through our elevatePA and Webinar Series. We also plan on hosting a formal, in-person drone conference later in the year dedicated to the theme of “Focus on Farming.”
- Guiding legislation and funding from the Pennsylvania State Senate and House directed towards supporting a more robust drone operations infrastructure.
- Enhancing our international relations with nations like Lithuania, Ukraine, and The Ivory Coast to further expand our state’s drone industry presence and market penetration.
Our Appeal
Do any of these topics interest you? Are you willing/able to join us and participate in growing the drone industry in our region? What super-power do you bring to the table that may help advance our drone association?
We invite you to join the PA Drone Association, so we can continue this journey in one of the most exciting and promising areas of innovation we have ever seen–drones!
