Southwest Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives

The Southwest Chapter of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) represents Arizona, Nevada, California, Hawaii, American Trust Islands in the South Pacific, the Baja Norte/Sur - Sonora regions of Mexico, and the countries of Australia and New Zealand. Since its founding, the purpose of the organization has been to bring together all persons representing public use airports as well as persons interested in and working for the benefit of aviation.


The SWAAAE Inclusion in Aviation Committee has launched a new podcast series highlighting conversations with aviation professionals working to build a more inclusive and accessible aviation industry.

The January 2026 episode of Ticket to Inclusion features host Erica Ledesma in conversation with special guest Whitney Robare. Together, they explore the hidden value of credentialing in aviation and discuss ways to make credentialing more accessible across the industry.

New episodes will be released monthly, so stay tuned for more conversations advancing inclusion in aviation.
