And, if you haven’t sent me an out-of-the-box idea in the hope of winning $100, this is your chance. Just send me an email at barbara.cook@aaae.org and tell me an idea your airport has adopted that demonstrates non-traditional thinking. It doesn’t have to be a revenue generator, just a plan that may have seemed odd at first, but turned out to be a benefit for your airport. If your idea is selected for publication, you win $100!

Sincerely, Barbara Cook
