Advocacy by GPA
Gillespie Pilots Association helps ensure that Gillespie field
remains "pilot safe and friendly". To accomplish that, we
keep you informed about things that affect your airport and we
work with those in a position to determine Gillespie's future.
GPA is in close contact with the FAA, airport management, local
governments, and the surrounding community.
Gillespie Field Development
Council
GFDC is arguably the most
important governmental body when it comes to Gillespie Field. There
are five members of GFDC (three appointed by the County of San
Diego, two by the City of El Cajon). They advise the Board of
Supervisors regarding such things as airport land use (hotels or
hangars?), expenditures from the Airport Enterprise Fund, and safety
matters. Although the Board of Supervisors makes the final
decisions, what GFDC says carries a lot of weight.
The GFDC
members are:
Chairman: Phyllis Trombi
Vice Chairman: Bob Parker
Councilman: Cliff Leary
Councilman:
Ramzi Murad
Councilman: Barry Bardack
