Stay ahead of the curve!

We look forward to your attendance at the ACC Annual Conference, the 31st in our organization’s history. Over the past year, we have listened to you about how to use the conference to add more value to ACC membership, and have developed an exciting program in response. We have focused on unique ways for our Executive and Associate members to become better acquainted, to learn about upcoming opportunities, and to provide venues for firms of all sizes to be better served through their involvement with ACC. Two new sessions, Business Speed Dating and Small, Medium, Large and Associate Firm Forums, are specifically targeted to meet these objectives. In addition, you will hear from experts about the latest industry developments and there will be ample time to connect and collaborate with friends and colleagues. Both formal sessions and informal discussions will provide key insights on issues relating to airport development and help you to build successful teams. You will also have an opportunity to interface with a diverse group of exhibitors who are eager to share what they do. Besides enhancing Executive-Associate Member networking, the Conference program is focused on enhancing ACC’s role as the expert voice on airport development, and providing a fair and competitive environment for your business to be successful. The opening session keynote speaker, David M. Aitken, will be powerful and motivating. His topic, The Cauldron of Change will address the fact that change is inevitable, but whether we suffer in the cauldron or triumph in the outcome is determined by how change is faced. Other sessions will focus on your firm’s initiatives to lead in sustainability, to detect and prevent fraud in your firm and to successfully conduct business in the global marketplace. This conference will provide the information you need to move forward, sustain and grow your businesses in a difficult economic climate. The Annual Conference is where ACC 2010 Committees will conduct their first meeting of the year. ACC Committee involvement provides all firm employees an opportunity to earn about and contribute to their respective technical disciplines or areas of interest. By contributing comments to the FAA & TSA, ACC members impact industry regulations and policies and gain knowledge that directly benefits their firm’s bottom line. What could be more fundamental to your business? Also, please join us at ACC’s annual membership meeting, which will be held during the conference. The location of this year’s event will be the scenic Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort in Lake Las Vegas, Nevada. Many thanks to the 2009 ACC Annual Conference Committee Chair Brenda Tillman of RW Armstrong, and Vice Chair Mike Floyd of Jacobs, and their committee, for creating an agenda that addresses your needs, adds value to your ACC membership, and provides real, relevant information that you can use to improve your business. On behalf of the ACC Board of Directors and Staff, we look forward to welcoming you to Nevada for an entertaining and informative, yet relaxing event!
