member testimonials
AMAC has proven to be an ideal platform to learn all the many facets of our industry, from the inner workings of airports to the legislative process on Capitol Hill. The organization’s commitment to supporting and educating its members makes us stronger as a group and better as entrepreneurs and leaders in aviation.
Karnardo GarnettCEO, Legacy Concessions 
Aviation is such a small industry, and it always amazes me the faces you run into over and over again. AMAC has provided a context and a community where you can continue those relationships rather than just hoping fate intervenes and you meet again. Having worked in concession design for 25 years, establishing those relationships has become one of the most rewarding parts of my business.
Jennifer ReynoldsPrincipal, Ideation Design Group 
As a project manager and architect, AMAC provides an amazing conduit to meet and network with aviation focused professionals of all disciplines, not just architecture. It’s diverse in profession and in representation!
Joe Cruz, AIA, NCARB, NOMAProject Manager, Architecture & Building Engineering, Mead & Hunt 
AMAC is a community whose members understand me and my journey. Better still, it provides me with opportunities to share my experience and expertise within its community and to learn from other members so that we grow together. AMAC is an invaluable and exceptional resource for entrepreneurs and innovators to bring their ideas to a world-class retail environment.
Sharon Loeff President, Shopworks, Inc. 
AMAC provides an environment where a person or entity can bring their whole self. This fosters a path that supports and mentors great leaders and entrepreneurs.
Tyrone William Nabbie President and CEO, Superior Hospitality Group LLC 
AMAC is the nexus of business, community and culture. Not only does AMAC demand a seat at the table, but they also reinforce the importance of unapologetic cultural representation and the value that it brings.
Demetria WidemanExecutive Vice President – Growth, ReachTV 
AMAC brings together a diverse group of professionals within the aviation industry and serves as a pillar to its members. In addition, the organization continues to be instrumental in supporting equity and inclusion in our industry.
Liz Gonzalez TetenbaumDirector, Partner Relations & Business Diversity, Hudson 
As a minority/woman-owned business, I am happy to have an advocate in AMAC who fights for both representation and opportunity in the airport industry. AMAC also offers the chance to network with a diverse group of people who are genuinely willing to help others succeed.
Desiree Nazario-BucoboPresident, Sweet Mango Hospitality Corp. 
In addition to the various business opportunities that AMAC facilities through its many channels and networking events, AMAC is a pivotal source of mentorships for individuals within many of its member organizations—be it new airport personnel, small business operators/concessionaires or any individuals looking for industry perspective beyond their respective organizations.
