Over the course of the pandemic, 21 employees from our amazing Airport Operations Team received a degree or an aviation-related certification. These individuals worked extremely hard toward their higher education, all while working on-site at the Airport throughout the pandemic.
Along with working 40 hours a week on rotating shift schedules, these individuals “hit the books” studying all hours of the day; completed difficult and lengthy tests to prove their knowledge; and continued to show dedication and perseverance to their jobs and school. We are so proud of their remarkable accomplishments and celebrate their successes!
In addition to these major successes, we are also celebrating Graham Ritz who was appointed to serve as the 2021-2022 Southwest American Association of Airport Executives (SWAAAE) Northern California Director.
