I am impressed that so many of you volunteered your time and energy to make the year a success. Thank you. Our Accreditation Program is one of the cornerstones of IAAE Canada. Last year we saw a total of nine people cross the finish line on their marathon of learning and growth. Many other individuals have finished portions of their program. I urge each of you who continue to plod through the process to dig deep and find the time to move it to the Done column. The sense of satisfaction you will get when you complete the program along with the rewards it will bring will make the effort worthwhile. 2008 saw the creation of the Student Chapter of IAAE Canada at Georgian College. The membership there is now up to 10 and growing. I had the pleasure of working with one of the members, Patricia Barboza. She had a co-op placement for the fall term in the Noise Management Office here at Toronto Pearson Airport. If she typifies the enthusiasm and energy level of the rest of the membership, it will be a successful value-added organization. The Membership & Communications Committee, under the leadership of Bill Newman A.A.E., has done an excellent job of getting information out to the membership and the aviation community. The quality of the 2007 Annual Report was impressive, as was the innovation of distributing it on a memory stick. Not only was it environmentally friendly, it was less costly. They made significant inroads into the redesign of our website and work continues on further improvements. It will soon be hosted here in Canada instead of at the AAAE headquarters in Virginia. Last year we put on a record 24 training courses. There were almost 400 people from across the country who partici- pated in our programs last year. The Training Committee continues to look for new offerings to meet the needs of your airports. Please feel free to give them ideas and suggestions on how they can address your needs. I would like to say a special Thank You to Richard Kohler of EBA Engineering. He is our Corporate Member representa- tive on the Board. Like Leonard Taylor and Brad Pryde before him, he brought the insights and perspectives of our Corporate Members to the table for consideration. Thank you for your contributions. I am looking forward to this year’s Operations and Facility Managers Conference in Kelowna in May. The organizing committee has been working hard to line up speakers and sponsors to make it a very worthwhile event. It will be a bittersweet event for me because at our Annual General Meeting that will be held in conjunction with the conference, I will be stepping down as the Chair of IAAE Canada. I have had the pleasure of serving on the Board of Directors for the past eight years. I have had the honour of serving along side many excellent contributors over those years. I have enjoyed their camaraderie and appreciated their efforts. We have many new and energetic members on the Board of Directors but there is always room for you to step up and contribute. Please consider it. Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Chair for the past four years. Eric Tolton, A.A.E. Chair IAAE Canada IAAE CANADA 2008 ANNUAL REPORT 1 www.iaaecanada.org year in review 2008 was a very successful year for IAAE Canada. You will find throughout this report a number of success stories demonstrating that IAAE Canada is financially stable and is delivering its mandate to promote the profession of airport management and the development of airport managers in Canada. With respect to promotion of airport management, the Board of Directors is proud to inform you that we successfully initiated the first student chapter of IAAE Canada at the Canadian Aviation Institute at Georgian College in Barrie Ontario. Ten students were among the initial enrollment of this chapter. Not only did they hold a number of their own meetings but some students took the opportunity to attend the Toronto Chapter monthly meetings as well. On the international stage, the Chair of our Board attended the annual IAAE meeting in October and reported that IAAE views our business model as one to emulate and their intention to do exactly that. This international recognition is significant and demonstrates that IAAE Canada is on the right track and that we need to continue on our current path to achieve our goals and further strengthen our organization. IAAE Canada is recognized as an organization that delivers quality training towards the development of airport man- agers in Canada and delivered a record 24 courses in 2008. In addition, the second annual Operations & Facility Managers conference was successfully conducted in Winnipeg. You will find within the financial report that both of these components contributed significantly to the financial stability of the Association. The Membership & Communications Committee made excellent progress on two fronts. The first is the development of a marketing strategy to attract new members in general and one that is specifically targeted at under represented areas such as Quebec and Atlantic Canada. It is expected that the Committee will be in a position to implement this plan in 2009. The second significant objective is the overhaul of the IAAE Canada web site which will be online and available to you very soon. These are a few of the highlights from 2008 and you are encouraged to review this report in detail to come to your own conclusion on the Association’s success. It contains biographies of the nine newly accredited members, the Committee reports and a summary of our unique chapters, current and those on the horizon. You are encouraged to provide feed- back so that we can continue to improve our communications, training programs, conferences, recruit new members and maintain our ability to sustain our primary mission of professional development and the promotion of the profession of airport management in Canada. IAAE Canada is always looking for volunteers and we welcome your involvement. If you would like to participate and serve on the Board of Directors or participate in any of the committees please contact any of the Board of Directors or committee chairs to express your interest. 2 IAAE CANADA 2008 ANNUAL REPORT our board IAAE CANADA 2008 ANNUAL REPORT 3 www.iaaecanada.org our board Chair Eric Tolton A.A.E.

We again set a record for the number of training courses in a year. With the economic prospects for 2009 being on the pessimistic side, we may not equal this record but that doesn’t mean we won’t be trying.
