ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Amber L. Clark, A.A.E., Airport Director, Columbus Airport,
Columbus, GA, has been awarded the distinction of Accredited Airport Executive
(A.A.E.) by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).
To qualify for this distinction, Amber had to successfully complete three phases
of the accreditation process: (1) pass a 180-item multiple-choice examination, (2) fulfill a
writing requirement, and (3) demonstrate, in the final interview by a panel of A.A.E.s,
her knowledge of airport management, business administration, and general
transportation economics. Amber’s achievement attests to her ability to meet these
stringent requirements and her experience in managing a public airport.
By fulfilling all the requirements leading to the title of Accredited Airport
Executive, Amber joins a select group of individuals who have earned the designation in
the seven decades of the accreditation program’s existence. At present, fewer than six
percent of AAAE’s members throughout the country are active accredited airport
executives.
