DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR MEDIUM AIRPORTS
GETTING IT
DONE
BOI’s Hupp Grows Airport Through Partnerships With Community, Industry BY ANDREW TELLIJOHN
Rebecca Hupp prefers being behind the scenes over being in the spotlight. But, by virtue of being airport director at Boise Airport (BOI), Hupp spends a certain amount of time in the public eye. And civic and industry leaders say she does it well, immersing herself in the needs of both her city and the airport industry, all while expanding flight and passenger counts. Here’s what her friends and colleagues had to say:
LAUREN McLEAN Boise Mayor
“Our residents must be able to connect to opportunities when and where they exist. Those opportunities are not only in and around Boise, but around the region, country and the world. Director Hupp has done incredible work making those connections for Boiseans, and in helping others connect to our beautiful city. I’m committed to creating a thriving local economy. The Boise Airport, and its growing number of nonstop flights and destinations, is critical to our economy, because it connects our small, medium, and large businesses to the world.”
