Brumfield, AMAC President & CEO.
AMAC is the only national, non-profit trade association dedicated to advancing the full participation of minorities and women in employment and contracting opportunities throughout the aviation and aerospace industries. The 2019 conference will bring together more than 1,000 businesses, aviation professionals, government officials and individuals from around the country to hear from industry leaders on topics that include current trends in airport technology and innovation, public policy issues impacting the industry, best practices in construction, retail and guest experience and information on how to do business with airports.
