There's still time to join us for this awesome mini-training today, Friday, at noon Eastern | 11a Central.

Together we'll work through auditing your airport's strategic priorities as a part of our Small Airport Strategic Planning L.A.N.D. framework in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way...
..even if you’ve never created a strategic plan before or even if you've never heard of one.

In less than an hour, you’ll recognize:

-- your top three airport priorities to focus your time and energy on
-- next steps to implement and support these priorities
-- ways to take action, even with limited staff, time, and resources

The interaction and collaboration in these sessions is as valuable as the framework you’ll be shown. With our guidance, you'll uncover the three most important priorities at your airport, when everything seems equally important.

You'll receive a digital workbook prior to the webinar to document the customized priorities you develop for your airport.

How is your airport doing right now? Is it possible to stay aligned with your airport's vision - particularly now in the COVID era? Would you like some support navigating these next few months while still making forward progress - even if it's small? Together we'll work through auditing your airport...

To our small business owner and small local government friends,

Reading through your posts and hearing the impacts COVID-19 is having on your business – operationally, financially, and emotionally – has been heavy.

Small business owners often are used to being nimble and able to pivot when necessary, but the current circumstances are entirely new and different to most of us. Making the right decisions can be debilitating.

We've wanted to help in so many ways, but didn’t know how, and haven’t known what to say other than to offer solidarity.

Today, through the thought-vortices of our own business, we figured it out.

To any small biz owner or small local government administrators, our Team would be humbled to spend an hour or so supporting you by listening and brainstorming.

Here are some ideas in case this resonates with you:

* Talking through contingency logistics for event rescheduling
* Generating ideas for moving in-person services, events, or storefronts online or over-the-phone
* Reviewing email or web copy for client outreach and reassurance
* Setting up new online platforms with basic tutorials
- Zoom web conferencing platform
- Canva graphic design
- MailChimp email marketing
- ClickUp project management
- Slack team communication
- Loom training videos
* Guidance on airline policies and travel planning
* Reprioritizing biz goals or establishing a new line of biz
* Managing virtual teams

Or, if you have it all covered and just want to have a virtual happy hour and vent session via Zoom, we’ll make that happen!

Please know we're not experts in any of these ideas, but thankfully know many awesome folks who are and would love to make a recommendation or connection if you need more focused support.

We are genuine in the offer to help, so please check in if there’s any way we can be a resource – no charge and no creepy sales pitch.

Please continue to support the small businesses in your community. If they aren’t set up for online operations, consider calling to ask if they can take an order over the phone and package it up for you to make a quick stop.

That sale may mean the difference for them in weathering this COVID-19 storm.

Bombardier Global 6000 is always an inspiring and graceful plane to watch take off and land - even more so at Daniel Field's downtown 4,002-foot runway (yes, those two feet are super important!)!
