As the time draws closer for AAAE’s annual conference (May 10—13 in Denver), we include two articles in this issue that highlight the value of internships in the airport industry.

the value of nurturing client relationships and to determine whether he would be a good fit for HAS. “If for no other reason, an internship should be considered so that each party of an employment agreement can determine whether a good fit exists,” he concludes.
Our feature by Rick Crider, A.A.E., executive vice president, Port San Antonio, introduces our readers to Dawson Call, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, who seems to love everything aviation. Dawson is working at Kelly Field/Port San Antonio as a student intern, partially funded by AAAE’s Co-Funded Airport Internship Program through the South Central Chapter-AAAE. Through his enthusiasm, and with the support of officials at Kelly Field/Port San Antonio, Dawson was instrumental in developing the highly successful Kelly Field Youth Aerospace Expo. According to Rick, “It occurs to me…that reaching the right audience requires the right message; it’s about speaking the language of the next generation, and Dawson did a great job at translating those ideas.”
So, how do these two examples tie into AAAE’s annual conference? Simply this: the conference will offer many opportunities for students, interns and would-be interns to meet and interact with airport career professionals, just like you. To view these opportunities, go to aaae.org/DEN2020, and plan to share your experience with students and potential interns.
