Don T. O’Bannon<br />

Chair, Airport Minority Advisory Council<br />

On behalf of the <strong>AMAC</strong>/<strong>AMAC</strong>ESP Executive Board, we look forward to meeting you in St. Louis,<br />

the fourth-largest city in the Midwest! Your presence at this year’s Airport Business Diversity<br />

Conference is sure to contribute to a great event.<br />

We’re certain the workshops, trainings and general sessions will provide expert analysis of the<br />

aviation industry and prepare you to explore new business opportunities. You’ll also renew old<br />

acquaintances and forge new business relationships at the receptions and other social events.<br />

We know you’ll leave St. Louis inspired, encouraged, informed – and excited to join us next year,<br />

for the 2013 Annual Airport Business Diversity Conference in San Diego! Enjoy the conference<br />

and all that it has to offer, and have a great time in St. Louis.<br />

On behalf of the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and the people of St. Louis, we’re glad<br />

you will be coming to the Gateway City. I am honored that St. Louis is hosting the 28th Annual<br />

Airport Business Diversity Conference, the largest gathering in the nation of minority-owned,<br />

women-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises interested in opportunities with the<br />

aviation industry.<br />

This is the first year St. Louis has hosted this conference, and it will be a special pleasure to<br />

welcome you to Lambert-St. Louis International Airport - an airport that holds a special place<br />

Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge in aviation history.<br />

Our iconic terminal has inspired terminals from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New<br />

York City to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in France. In the 1920’s, our airport’s air traffic control system was at that time<br />

the first of its kind. Furthermore, Lambert-St. Louis International is the nation’s first municipally owned airport. But beyond<br />

our airport, St. Louis has much to offer. While you’re in St. Louis, make sure to enjoy the people and hospitality of our city.<br />

Welcome to the “Gateway to the West!” St. Louis has much to offer, from the infamous<br />

Gateway Arch, to the Delmar Loop - an entertainment mecca, to the exciting casinos. You’ll<br />

be here at the beginning of summer when the warm days and cool nights will encourage you<br />

to walk around and explore. Try our many fine restaurants and wander through Laclede’s<br />

Landing in the downtown historic district for live entertainment. If quiet reflection is more your<br />

style, visit the museums in Forest Park or the Missouri Botanical Gardens. We’re also proud<br />

of the City Museum, the Griot Museum of Black History, and the many other museums our<br />

city boasts. Make the most of the conference, and enjoy your visit!<br />

Conference<br />

Overview<br />

The<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> Airport Business<br />

Diversity Conference,<br />

convened each year by the Airport Minority<br />

Advisory Council (<strong>AMAC</strong>) brings airports,<br />

the federal government, corporations<br />

and entrepreneurs together in one of the<br />

aviation industry’s premier educational,<br />

training and business networking events.<br />

The conference, held since 1984, is also<br />

the primary vehicle for Disadvantaged<br />

Business Enterprises (DBEs) and Airport<br />

Concessions Disadvantaged Business<br />

Enterprises (ACDBEs) to cultivate<br />

relationships and build partnerships with<br />

national airports and business partners.<br />

The 4-day event also features the Annual<br />

Expo, which allows airports, DBEs and<br />

corporations to showcase their businesses<br />

before thousands of attendees.<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> is the only national, non-profit<br />

airport/business trade association<br />

that advocates specifically for the full<br />

participation of minority-owned, womanowned<br />

and disadvantaged businesses in<br />

airport contracting. Its primary goals are<br />

to eliminate the barriers that traditionally<br />

have hindered full participation by these<br />

businesses in the aviation industry, and to<br />

assist them in capitalizing on all available<br />

opportunities within the industry.<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> and its members view inclusion not<br />

simply as a worthwhile public policy goal;<br />

rather, inclusion makes good economic<br />

and business sense and reflects the<br />

diverse markets that airports serve.<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong>ESP, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit<br />

8<br />

organization established by the <strong>AMAC</strong><br />

Board of Directors in 1997, offers<br />

internships, scholarships and outreach to<br />

students interested in aviation careers.<br />

The Bill Walker Memorial Golf Tournament,<br />

Silent Auction, and <strong>AMAC</strong> After Dark and<br />

Fundraisers for the <strong>AMAC</strong>ESP Scholarship<br />

Fund, are part of the annual conference.<br />

During the conference, all stakeholders,<br />

including airport directors, commissioners,<br />

DBE liaison officers, and state and<br />

local government officials, participate in<br />

workshops, trainings, and networking<br />

events to discuss their current challenges<br />

and prospective opportunities. The<br />

sessions range from how to pursue<br />

business opportunities with airports, to<br />

how to build capacity as DBEs, to how<br />

<strong>2012</strong> <strong>AMAC</strong> AIRPORT BUSINESS DIVERSITY CONFERENCE | www.amac-org.com/annualconference.html<br />

to dissect and analyze the economic<br />

trends and public policy decisions that<br />

impact DBEs seeking opportunities as<br />

airport vendors, professional service<br />

providers, construction contractors and<br />

concessionaires.<br />

The 28th Annual Airport Business Diversity<br />

Conference will be held in St. Louis,<br />

MO, on June 9 through June 12, <strong>2012</strong>,<br />

and will be hosted by Lambert-St. Louis<br />

International Airport.

Additional Registration Required<br />

This year’s Bill Walker Memorial Golf<br />

Tournament will be hosted by Pevely<br />

Farms, an 18-hole course highlighting the<br />

beauty of the Meramec River Valley.<br />

Bill Walker’s affiliation with the Airport<br />

Business Diversity Conference began with<br />

the Los Angeles, California conference in<br />

1988. At the time, he was a vice president<br />

of Pacific State Airlines. Walker began<br />

planning the golf tournament shortly<br />

after and continued to organize it until<br />

illness prevented him from doing so. The<br />

tournament was named for Bill Walker in<br />

honor of his dedication and commitment to<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> and the Airport Business Diversity<br />

Conference.<br />

The Pevely Farms course was designed<br />

by famed golf course architect, Arthur<br />

Hills. He transformed the once-thriving<br />

dairy farm into a championship course<br />

that boasts one postcard-worthy view after<br />

another.<br />

The layout, playing at over 7,100 yards<br />

from the championship tees, features<br />

manicured zoysia fairways and bent grass<br />

greens. Hills’ layout appeals to golfers<br />

of all skill levels, providing an excellent<br />

challenge for the scratch golfer as well<br />

as pleasure and fun for the weekend<br />

golfer. From the many challenges in<br />

elevation to the carries over water, to the<br />

fir trees and oaks along the fairways, to<br />

the breathtaking vistas of Meramec Valley,<br />

every detail of the course is in harmony<br />

with the beautiful surroundings.<br />

DBELO Certification Training<br />

Implementation of 49 CFR Parts 26 and 23 presents unique<br />

challenges for USDOT grantees. Certification of firms as DBEs<br />

and ACDBEs is seen as the first step to participation for a<br />

small, minority and disadvantaged business enterprise seeking<br />

contractual opportunities in airports.<br />

The <strong>AMAC</strong> DBELO Certification training will offer attendees the<br />

latest information regarding regulations, guidelines and best<br />

practices for use during the review and assessment of ACDBE<br />

and DBE certification applications. The training includes reviews<br />

of case studies, complex business structures and financial<br />

analysis of required documentation. The materials presented will<br />

assist new professionals as well as challenge veterans to properly<br />

assess complex certification issues. Areas of focus will include<br />

an overview of certification requirements and a discussion of<br />

financial considerations when making certification determinations<br />

for DBEs and ACDBEs. Additionally, one of the sessions will focus<br />

on compliance monitoring requirements and strategies for ACDBE<br />

(Part 23) and DBE (Part 26) programs.<br />

This course is open to DBELO’s, airport legal counsel and<br />

Conference highlights<br />

David Kim, the former CEO of Baja Fresh, is now the Managing Director of Ignite<br />

Enterprises whose primary business is consulting with companies and entrepreneurs by<br />

helping them establish and grow their brands in the United States. He is the author of<br />

Ignite!: The 12 Values that Fuel billionaire Success.<br />

In 2011, his appearance as CEO of Baja Fresh on CBS’s hit show “Undercover Boss”<br />

drew one of the show’s largest audiences to date and resulted in “unprecedented” and<br />

“never before seen” web traffic, according to AOL.<br />

But the David Kim story runs much deeper. Kim arrived in America at the age of twelve.<br />

His father, a South Korean ambassador, was forced to flee the country in the wake of<br />

the assassination of the president of South Korea. Penniless, Kim’s family moved into a<br />

two-bedroom apartment in southern California.<br />

To earn money for the family, David’s father would take him to swap meets, spread out a<br />

blue tarp, and leave his son with a pile of plastic toys to sell on the streets. “That’s where<br />

I learned the art of business,” says Kim. “How to serve customers, how to negotiate,<br />

how to build relationships—it was the best business education I could have ever hoped<br />

to receive.”<br />

A serial entrepreneur by nature, David’s equity market investment group specializes in<br />

acquiring distressed companies and turning them around.<br />

Kim’s love of business is matched only by his passion for service. His charitable<br />

interests involve several faith-based groups, strengthening families, and North Korean<br />

refugees freedom organizations.<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> General Session Luncheon with Keynote<br />

MONDAY, JUNE 11, <strong>2012</strong><br />

12:15 AM – 1:45 PM<br />

David Kim<br />

Jamail Larkins, a pilot and entrepreneur who owns two companies, got hooked on<br />

aviation when he took a flight at age 12 through the Young Eagles Program, offered by<br />

the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA). He fell in love “at first flight” and made up<br />

his mind to do whatever it took to stay up in the air. He petitioned the Federal Aviation<br />

Administration to let him fly solo, but when the FAA turned him down, he went to Canada<br />

where the age requirement was 14. At that age, he was one of the youngest American<br />

pilots to solo a powered aircraft in Canada.<br />

At 16, Larkins became the spokesman for the EAA’s Vision of Eagles Program, a<br />

youth education initiative. In this role, he used his passion for flight to promote career<br />

possibilities in aviation. He branched out into aerobatic flying at 18, becoming one of the<br />

youngest air show performers in the country.<br />

Larkins founded his first business, Larkin Enterprises, Inc., an aviation sales and<br />

advertising company, at age 15. Since then, he’s transformed the company into two<br />

successful units: an aircraft sales and leasing company and an aviation consulting firm.<br />

The companies have generated over $7.5 million in annual sales.<br />

In 2002, Larkins became national spokesman for Careers in Aviation, a nonprofit that<br />

promotes aviation to young people. He co-founded, with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical<br />

University, the Dream Launch Tour, designed to motivate students to reach for their<br />

dreams. The FAA in 2004 named him the first official Ambassador for Aviation and Space<br />

Education. Larkins has been named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, a<br />

History Maker in the Making by TheGrio.com. He lives in Atlanta.

Diversity Conference<br />

ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI<br />

“Flight Plan for Success”<br />

The Airport Minority Advisory Council (<strong>AMAC</strong>) is the only national, non-profit, trade association dedicated to promoting the full<br />

participation of minority-owned, women-owned and disadvantaged business enterprises (M/W/DBEs) in airport contracting and the<br />

inclusion of minorities and women in employment. We have two primary goals: to eliminate the barriers to minority and women<br />

participation in the airport industry and to capitalize on the opportunities available in this multi-billion dollar industry.<br />

Since its inception, <strong>AMAC</strong> has been at the forefront of nearly<br />

every national policy initiative impacting the participation of<br />

disadvantaged businesses in airport contracting. <strong>AMAC</strong> also<br />

works consistently with Congress, the Federal Government,<br />

aviation trade associations and others as a resource for<br />

information, education and guidance on business and<br />

employment matters.<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> and its affiliates represents thousands of members that<br />

include airport operators, government officials, corporations,<br />

and M/W/DBE entrepreneurs. No organization practices what<br />

it preaches better than <strong>AMAC</strong>, bringing a diverse multi-dimensional<br />

group together for their mutual success. Our twenty-year<br />

legacy includes high-level, aviation community experience from<br />

dedicated professionals in the industry, who volunteer their time<br />

to serve as Board and committee members.<br />

We are proud of our success in eliminating barriers to M/W/<br />

DBE participation, and in supporting the efforts of airports<br />

in administering their M/W/DBE programs. But there is still<br />

work to be done. <strong>AMAC</strong> is the sole organization dedicated to<br />

advocating equal opportunity for minorities and women in airport<br />

contracting and employment, and we need your support to build<br />

on our success.<br />

The benefits of being a member of <strong>AMAC</strong> extend beyond the<br />

airport contract dollars. Membership in <strong>AMAC</strong> offers access<br />

to a wealth of resources and experience, plus exposure to a<br />

wide array of networking opportunities with your peers, clients,<br />

industry decision makers, and potential business associates and<br />

employees.<br />

Become an <strong>AMAC</strong> Member<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> Membership Opportunity 22<br />

If you are in airport management, if you represent a business or<br />

corporation, or if you are an individual or an organization that<br />

shares our interest and vision then <strong>AMAC</strong> needs you!<br />

<strong>AMAC</strong> believes strongly that the inclusion of more minorityowned<br />

and women-owned businesses in airports makes good<br />

business sense and reflects the communities and markets<br />

these airports serve. As the industry grows, airports continue<br />

to increase and expand, furthering the economic growth of<br />

communities. With this growth comes enormous opportunity<br />

- amounting to billions of dollars annually in construction,<br />

procurement, professional services and concession contracts<br />

at our nation’s airports. <strong>AMAC</strong> is filing a “Flight Plan For<br />

Success” and you can, too!
