| SWAAAE Supports Members on Path to Accreditation |
SWAAAE actively participates in AAAE’s Certified Member (C.M.) and Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.) programs and encourages chapter members to pursue professional development opportunities offered via these programs. Two SWAAAE members serve on the AAAE Board of Examiners (BOE). Mike Williams, A.A.E. of San Bernardino County is one of three at-large members of the BOE, and Alex Kovach, A.A.E., serves as the Southwest Chapter Regional Examiner.
