What is the role of the Community Engagement Officer?

A Community Engagement Officer (CEO) holds a position on the Regional Administrative Team and acts as the primary point of contact between local communities and the FAA. A CEO fulfills the designation of Regional Ombudsman for his or her area. CEOs inform and involve the public, engage with communities, and ensure the FAA meaningfully considers community concerns when making aviation decisions that affect the public. CEOs assist in carrying out public involvement activities for environmental activities, such as impacts from noise, safety, and pollution.
