The Industry Advisory Board is a valuable resource for the Daytona Beach College of Aviation, providing strategic planning and program development insights and unique industry perspectives to the Dean.

At their meetings, members of the board regularly interact with both the students and faculty through formal briefings and social gatherings.

Board members serve as ambassadors for the College externally and are integral to forging alliances between the College and business.
