IN WITH THE NEW, OUT WITH THE OLD. Joe Mauro, Executive Dir ector , IAAE Canada. Says, “I have 18+ years in senior executive roles which included 7 years as CEO for a national non-profit organization. In that time I have developed an effective blend of political acuity, entrepreneurial spirit and progressive thinking. Having honed my skills at successive stops along my career, I am ready to deliver that same effective management style to the International Association of Airport Executives.
It is with considerable gratitude we say good bye to Tom Coupland who after nine years in the chair at our head quarters is retiring, immediately following this conference. Tom picked up the Association when it was in dire straights and has steered it to the position we are in today. A tremendous improvement. I’m sure you will all join us in wishing Tom well, as he rides off into the sunset. (Literally)
About IAAE Canada IAAE Canada's primary goal is to assist airport executives in fulfilling their responsibilities to the airports and communities they serve, by personal development and training. Different levels of membership at IAAE Canada are obtainable to coincide with your goal to enhance your professional development in the airport industry. In 1994 IAAE Canada was formed in the interest of serving Canadian Airport Managers and personnel. It grew so well that in 2000 we incorporated as the Int’l Association of Airport Executives Canada (IAAE Canada) and still continue to grow to this day. Membership in IAAE Canada is for individuals not airports and it places equal emphasis on the employees and operators of large and small airport concerns, reflecting a membership comprised of executives from large and medium size airports, as well as hundreds of managers from smaller airports used by general and commercial aviation. IAAE Canada is proud to offer its premier credential the Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.) "The Mark of an Airport Professional". The value of the A.A.E. mark is the public, the airport industry and the candidate knowing that only those who have proven a high level of knowledge, managerial skill, discipline and professionalism are awarded the Accredited Airport Executive designation.
