PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings MAA Members,

This year’s annual conference in Tupelo was one of the most successful in recent memory, boasting one of the largest attendances of all time. From insightful speakers to engaging networking opportunities, attendees were treated to an unforgettable experience.

A highlight of the conference was the outstanding Thursday lunch speaker, Matt Wyatt, who captivated the audience with his insights and stories, leaving attendees energized and inspired.

The fun continued into the evening with an exciting dinner party at the Tupelo Regional Airport. Guests enjoyed delicious food, live entertainment and the unique opportunity to explore the airport grounds and static displays. As an added bonus, attendees had the chance to win a ride in a classic Stearman biplane, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The conference set a high bar for future gatherings and showcased the significance of Mississippi’s airport community. I can’t wait to see what next year in Hattiesburg has in store!

Sincerely,

Wes Kirkpatrick
President
Mississippi Airports Association
