Anthony W. Barnes is the Chief Operating Officer at the Airport Minority Advisory Council (AMAC), which is the only trade association dedicated to increasing diversity in airport contracting and employment. “My passion lies in creating a social impact, which led me to the only aviation trade organization focused on promoting women and minorities in an industry where they are underrepresented,” said Barnes. Before serving as AMAC’s chief operating officer, he served as AMAC’s business development and membership director.
In addition to his role at AMAC, Barnes participates in various aviation industry organizations, resource groups and events. He serves on the Eno Board Regents. Eno is a non-profit foundation with a mission to shape public debate on critical multimodal transportation issues and build an innovative network of transportation professionals. The board of regents supports Eno’s educational and professional development programs. Barnes also serves on the Eno Center for Transportation Aviation Working Group, a standing advisory group on matters relating to aviation policy.
“I enjoy meeting and engaging with various entities in the airport ecosystem,” Barnes said. “I also have the satisfaction of knowing that I am affecting real change and helping minority-owned and women-owned businesses access business and employment opportunities.”
