PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings MAA Members,

As 2024 is coming to a close, we have a very successful year on which to reflect as an association. This year’s conference was one of the biggest in our history. Our lobbying efforts made some good strides during the legislative session. While we were not successful with our efforts on some bills, we made our presence known as a coalition.

Looking to next year, we have our MAA Capitol Day on February 6, 2025, and I ask all our members to join several board members and me in Jackson to meet with legislators and discuss the importance of airports and the impact they have on the state’s economy.

Finally, I want to extend my wishes to everyone for an enjoyable holiday season. I look forward to the great things we can accomplish in 2025.

Sincerely,

Wes Kirkpatrick
President
Mississippi Airports Association
