MMOPA is excited to host its first West Coast Regional Event in Sonoma County, Calif. May 5th through 7th, 2023. Join fellow MMOPA members for educational sessions and all things PA-46 from industry experts, as well as enjoying the beauty of Sonoma County and all it has to offer.
In previous years, MMOPA has promoted member-hosted safety meetups throughout the country. In 2023, we are taking those events to the next level by hosting two MMOPA Regional Events, which will complement the MMOPA Convention & Fly-in in Colorado Springs August 31-September 3. We have selected destination locations on each coast to bring safety programs and community fellowship to both sides of the country.
Registration for the West Coast Regional Event is now open. The full agenda, including off-site event activities, to come!
