Aeronautics employees garner awards from Wyoming Airports Coalition
By Mark Horan
A current WYDOT employee and a former WYDOT employee were among a group of individuals and airports recognized for their contributions to Wyoming aviation at the Wyoming Airports Coalition annual conference in Casper.
Shawn Burke, who is the air service development program manager for WYDOT’s Aeronautics Division, was one of two recipients to receive the Coalition’s Aviation Achievement Award.
That award is presented to individuals who have given substantial effort towards the promotion, operation, maintenance, and development of aviation in their community or across the state.
Burke was recognized for his efforts to sustain and develop commercial air service across the State of Wyoming. His leadership in creating and managing the Air Service Enhancement Program and the Commercial Air Service Improvement Plan were critical to ensure air service remained in Wyoming’s rural communities throughout the pandemic.
Christy Yaffa spent 26 years with WYDOT’s Aeronautics Division and is now the community planner for the Federal Aviation Administration Denver Airports District Office.
She was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award, which is the Coalition’s highest level of recognition and is bestowed upon an individual who has spent a significant amount of their career pursuing the improvement of aviation throughout the State of Wyoming.
Yaffa’s nomination highlighted her “can do” attitude and her many years of dedication to each and every airport in the State of Wyoming.
Other award recipients were Marlon Holmquist with the Casper/Natrona County International Airport and Devon Brubaker with the Southwest Wyoming Regional Airport outside of Rock Springs. In addition, the Southwest Wyoming Airport and the Wheatland Airport received Project of the Year Awards.
The award ceremony was held in September. n
