EIA’s KELLY FREDERICKS TO
SPEAK TO GANNON BUSINESS AMBASSADORS
Erie International Airport
Executive Director Kelly Fredericks will be at Gannon
University on Tuesday, Oct. 24 to unveil a new marketing strategy for the
airport.
Fredericks will address the
Gannon Business Ambassadors Group from 7:35-9 a.m. in the Yehl Room of
Gannon’s Waldron Campus Center, 124 West Seventh Street. His presentation
is titled Your Erie Airport: Aggressively Pursuing International and
Domestic Economic Opportunities.
Under Fredericks’
leadership, the airport garnered national attention and awards last year
and is in the midst of several major improvements, including a runway
extension project and development of an International Trade Center.
In August, Gov. Ed Rendell
announced that the airport had been selected for $2.5 million in state
capital grant money to fund the trade center project, which Fredericks has
said will have a “huge” impact on economic development locally and is the
“missing piece” the airport has needed. The trade center could create up
to 100 new jobs, according to news reports.
Fredericks has spoken to the
Gannon Business Ambassadors Group in the past. In 2003, he introduced the
successful Fly Erie marketing campaign to the members.
For more
information on the event, contact Mark Gaeta, coordinator of Gannon’s
Business Ambassadors Program, at ext. 7466.
