AMPAP IAP Alumni Group

About us

The AMPAP IAP Alumni Group is dedicated to create value for our graduates of the Airport Management Professional Accreditation Program (AMPAP).

This group serves as a space for alumni to network, share insights, and collaborate. Alumni can also join discussions, access exclusive resources, and more in this community.

Vision

To provide opportunities for our IAPs (International Airport Professionals) to engage with fellow alumni and global industry leaders through programs and events, virtually or in-person, to enhance professionalism in airport leadership.

Mission

The mission of the AMPAP IAP Alumni Group is to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive alumni community from all regions of the world, committed to networking with each other and furthering the cause of executive education and leadership for airport professionals.

IAP Board

The AMPAP IAP Board is an elected group of alumni representing each region, dedicated to maintaining strong, ongoing connections with graduates. The Board actively engages alumni through various initiatives and events. In addition to offering strategic guidance to the AMPAP program, it ensures that graduates continue to benefit from the activities of the parent organization—through opportunities such as webinars, and roles as panelists or moderators at industry conferences and events.
