The COPA board of Directors and staff are working on Migration 2026 in San Antonio TX ([corrected] Sept 17-19, 2026) and we need some Volunteers to help.
We are looking for some help in the following areas:
FBO Liaison - in South Texas area that knows KSAT area and can work with the FBO(s) on logistics for arrival and parking of aircraft.
Education and Member Experience Lead - This person would review the speaker topics, organize flow of classes topics and define “tracts” for COPA members/spouses. Some onsite help with logistics / AV is also desired (onsite 9/17-19)
Sponsorship / Vendor Lead - This person would work with the Board and Migration Chair to Identify Vendors / sponsors, Solicit Vendors / sponsors and work with them during Migration. Our sponsors help pay for Migration!
If you would like to get involved - Please send an email to doug.beary@cirruspilots.org or contact any COPA Board member and express your interest!
If none of the volunteer areas above fit your interest, but you would still like to volunteer - Let me know!
This is a MASSIVE opportunity to get involved in COPA — and honestly, it’s where my journey began!
8 years ago I raised my hand with Migration, then was asked to join the board… and look where that took me with COPA (for better or worse )
We’ve built a rock-solid framework for COPA Migrations, built on the works of those before me — but we’re not done.
We’re looking for passionate, driven volunteers to build on top of it, push boundaries, and make it even MORE legendary.
Plus, volunteers that serve the COPA Migration Committee get a few perks!
This is your chance to leave your mark. We are stronger together! Join the team!
20 years ago this month I had been on COPA for about four months and a new owner (Jan 3, 2006)
I innocently asked Mike Radomsky, “Hey, Mike, I live here in Duluth, is there anything I might be able to do to help you out with this Migration event here this summer?”
I had no idea it would lead to this much fun and adventure over the next two decades…

together! Join the team!
