Chapter Updates

  • January 2025 Pennsylvania Chapter Update

    The first Pennsylvania Chapter meeting of 2025 was held on Sunday, Jan. 26, at Dutch brewpub Bar Hygge in the Art Museum area, and featured guests of honor TCC President Margo Bart (who flew across the country to join us) and Philadelphia International Airport CEO Atif Saeed. Thanks to him, we learned a great deal about how airports work, and were astounded to hear that a single airport runway can cost $1 billion dollars to build. It was also edifying to discover that PHL, an older airport with terminals ranging in age from 20 to 60 years, is routinely lumped into customer satisfaction surveys with airports that are considerably newer, and therefore can offer shiny new facilities with more bells and whistles.

    Looking to the year ahead, this is a current roster of the Pennsylvania Chapter’s upcoming meeting dates and venues:

    • Sunday, May 18, 2025 — 5 p.m.
