B-1  Stakeholder Engagement Resources B.1 Introduction Section 2 of the guide addresses the creation or development of your State Aviation System Plan (SASP). One important component of this process is the inclusion of stakeholder and public input. A common way to engage interested parties is through the establishment of an advisory committee. This appendix provides suggestions for representation on a SASP advisory committee. B.2 Advisory Committee Suggestions Advisory committees are a great way to promote engagement and input from industry pro- fessionals and stakeholders who may be affected by the results of your SASP airport economic impact study. More information on advisory committees can be found in Section 2.1.2 of the guide. Table B-1 provides a list of suggestions for advisory committee membership, organized by industry/category. The example advisory committee membership provided in Table B-1 is meant to serve as a starting point and is not all-inclusive. You may find other agencies, companies, or entities that should be represented on your SASP advisory committee, depending on the users of your system. Regardless of who you ask to participate on your advisory committee, keep in mind that the more members you have, the harder it can be to manage. The appropriate size of an advisory committee is unique to each state but often includes 10â15 members. A P P E N D I X B
