Dear AMAC Family, 

Welcome to the 40th Annual AMAC Airport Business Conference—a true moment, a real milestone. Over four decades ago, a group of bold and visionary individuals came together with a single mission: to transform our industry. Today, as we gather in a city as rich in rhythm and resilience as New Orleans, we are reminded that our presence in aviation is not by chance—it is by purpose. 

As Chair of the AMAC Political Action Committee (AMAC PAC), I’m honored to help lead the next chapter in our journey. This year, we invite you to join us for our signature Power Breakfast, held under the theme: “The Future Is Funded: Building Momentum, Fueling Change.” But this is more than a theme—it’s a call to action. A bold declaration that equity, access, and innovation in our future will require intentional investment through funding, advocacy, and action. 

If we want this industry to reflect the richness of our communities, the brilliance of our ideas, and the promise of our businesses, then we must both fuel and fund that future—with purpose, momentum, and influence. That means amplifying our voices. It means shaping policy. And yes—it means raising the resources necessary for AMAC PAC to advocate powerfully on Capitol Hill and across the country. 

As you enjoy this year’s conference, I encourage you to deepen your engagement with AMAC PAC. Be in the room at the Power Breakfast. Connect with our team. Discover how your voice and support can help drive—and sustain—the change we need. 

Let us be clear: the future doesn’t fund itself. We fund it. Together, we are laying the foundation for a new generation of leaders in aviation and transportation.  

So, let’s do it—together. Let’s build the next chapter. Let’s shape the next 40 years. 

With gratitude and determination,
