DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Oct. 12, 2015 - The South Florida Business Aviation Association (SFBAA) will represent South Florida at the state’s first-ever General Aviation Caucus.

“The SFBAA proud to represent South Florida at the first General Aviation Caucus,” said Jeff Ramsden, SFBAA president. “It’s important that we do our part to help educate our legislators on the many benefits of business aviation to the state of Florida.”
