'Your house'
AOPA headquarters welcomes members

AOPA STAFF will welcome visitors (above). An

WHEN AOPA SENIOR MEMBER SERVICES REPRESENTATIVE CHARLES LEHMAN takes
members on a tour of association headquarters, he tries to make sure they understand one important thing: It's all for them.
Whether they're fielding questions about medical certification or membership
needs, developing free safety products for pilots, writing about or filming the latest
general aviation news-or advocating for pilots across the country-AOPA employees are focused on the members.
"We wouldn't be there without them," explained Lehman. Members can arrange
for tours of AOPA's Frederick, Maryland, headquarters on weekdays year-round.
At Frederick, two call centers help members with questions about their membership and medical, legal, and aviation concerns. Between calls and emails, AOPA's
member services department and Pilot Information Center have a combined 270,000
interactions with members a year. Across the hall, the AOPA Foundation's Air Safety
Institute develops free safety education such as online courses, videos, quizzes, inperson seminars, and more. These products, funded by donations to the AOPA
Foundation, are available to all pilots, reaching the pilot community more than one
million times each year.
Members are sometimes surprised to see familiar faces in the hallways, having
grown accustomed to seeing AOPA Editor in Chief Tom Haines and others on AOPA
Live This Week. A wall lined with AOPA Pilot magazine covers gives visitors a look
back at years worth of general aviation news and features.
Visitors always have questions for AOPA's government affairs staff, Lehman said.
This group, which also has a satellite office in Washington, D.C., represents pilots'
interests on issues from state tax laws to border security. Across the country, a network of volunteers helps support the association's efforts to protect airports through
the Airport Support Network.
Attendees at AOPA's Homecoming Fly-In October 4 will have an opportunity to
tour the association's headquarters while they're on the field for a day of aviation fun.
"This is more your house than it is ours, even though we work here," Lehman said.
