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
