The Airport Minority Advisory Council recently recognized Capital Region Airport Commission President and CEO Jon E. Mathiasen with a Hall of Fame award at the Catalyst Awards luncheon at its 34th Annual Airport Business Diversity Conference in Seattle, Washington Aug. 24.
The organization recognized Mathiasen's work as an advocate for diversity and inclusion.
"Throughout his career he has demonstrated sustainable and profound contributions to the aviation industry,” said Krystal J. Brumfield, president and CEO of AMAC.
The Hall of Fame award “honors an individual who has demonstrated sustainable and profound contributions to the aviation industry and exhibited a positive impact on diversity inclusion within the industry," according to the AMAC. "This award recognizes an individual within the industry who has been an outstanding spokesperson, educator, innovator and advocate for diversity inclusion in the workforce or small business participation in contracting.”
Mathiasen was honored to earn the award, he said.
"Diversity awareness and inclusion in contracting opportunities for capital projects, goods and services, and concessions have been high-priority objectives at Richmond International Airport for many years,” he said.
The Airport Minority Advisory Council's mission is to promote the inclusion of minorities and women in contracting opportunities and professional development throughout the aviation and aerospace industry.
