Stakeholder involvement is an essential component to the 2025 NDAEIS and NDSASP. To support the two studies, the North Dakota Aeronautics Commission (NDAC) formed a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to offer a diverse range of perspectives and insight, aid in project development, and share project information to their constituents.

Four virtual TAC meetings will be held at regular intervals throughout the study to inform members as project reports and findings become available and to gain their feedback during key project milestones. TAC members will also be given the opportunity to provide feedback as draft chapters are developed and posted to the Draft Deliverables tab of this website.
