SUMMARY:Inaugural GBTA Michigan Capital Day - GTP Credit Approved
DESCRIPTION:Michigan Capital Day \n \nIn Collaboration With the Michigan Association of Airport Executives \nJoin us for the inaugural Capital Day\, June 6\, in Lansing. \nThe Global Business Travel Association (www.gbta.org) hosts a legislative summit in Washington\, DC\, yearly\, and in 2023\, one of the appointments Leslee Fritz and Cecile Mutch had was with Congresswoman Hillary Scholten’s office. The congresswoman had just testified on the hill the day before: https://twitter.com/RepScholten/status/1668741446222987270?s=20 \nWhile the congresswoman specifically noted Gerald R. Ford International Airport (GRR\,) we discovered other Michigan airports also had infrastructure and expansion needs. We further learned how our state government allocates federal/state funding and how it has the power to incentivize private investment. \nThese discoveries catalyzed our desire for GBTA Michigan to host its own legislative summit: to bring to Michigan members the issues that impact business travel and how to collectively raise our voice to influence positive change. \nObjective: for GBTA Michigan’s members to hear directly from our state’s airport executives to learn about the realities of airport operations\, funding for improvements\, and air service development. \nWe will take what we learn from the panel discussion and move to the capital to share our concerns with our elected officials.
