Staff Profile

Get to Know …

Blair Aylward, Member of the IA&B Education Team

Years with IA&B:

24

Role at IA&B:

To make your classes and events run smoothly so you get the best return on your investment. For in-person classes, I work with facilities on contracting, room setup, billing, meal prep, and travel arrangements. A lot goes into our education calendar, and the IA&B Education & Events staff all have a role in the experience. Negotiation, communication, and molding business/personal relationships are key components in this position.

Best part of your job:

Meeting agents and sales people from our three states. They all have their own personalities and differences, and that is perfectly fine in this business.

Favorite sports team:

New York Giants (the G-Men) … it’s time to get back to their former identity.

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Our daughter has been involved in competitive field hockey year-round since 2013, so we travel on weekends and have developed quite the packing list for all types of weather and tournaments. Beyond that, I want to golf more again as I miss playing certain courses and want to see if I can still break 80. I also like visiting minor league ballparks and reading about golf course design.
