AMAC has proven to be an ideal platform to learn all the many facets of our industry, from the inner workings of airports to the legislative process on Capitol Hill. The organization’s commitment to supporting and educating its members makes us stronger as a group and better as entrepreneurs and leaders in aviation.
Karnardo GarnettCEO, Legacy Concessions

Aviation is such a small industry, and it always amazes me the faces you run into over and over again. AMAC has provided a context and a community where you can continue those relationships rather than just hoping fate intervenes and you meet again. Having worked in concession design for 25 years, establishing those relationships has become one of the most rewarding parts of my business.

As a project manager and architect, AMAC provides an amazing conduit to meet and network with aviation focused professionals of all disciplines, not just architecture. It’s diverse in profession and in representation!

AMAC is a community whose members understand me and my journey. Better still, it provides me with opportunities to share my experience and expertise within its community and to learn from other members so that we grow together. AMAC is an invaluable and exceptional resource for entrepreneurs and innovators to bring their ideas to a world-class retail environment.

As a minority/woman-owned business, I am happy to have an advocate in AMAC who fights for both representation and opportunity in the airport industry. AMAC also offers the chance to network with a diverse group of people who are genuinely willing to help others succeed.
