How does the 10th busiest airport in America handle huge events like the Super Bowl, Formula One, NFR, and some of the largest conventions in the world – all while consistently showing up in the top 5 among “mega airports” for customer service, according to J.D. Power?

Jim Chrisley, Senior Director of Aviation at Harry Reid International Airport, will share some of those secrets as well as future plans for Las Vegas’ main mass mode of transportation at the May luncheon of the Christian Business Network on Thursday, May 9, from 11:45-1 at the beautiful Ahern Hotel.

Chrisley oversees a variety of functions at the airport, including Airside Operations, Construction & Engineering, and Facilities, along with the aviation department’s General Aviation operations throughout Clark County.

Prior to joining the Department of Aviation team, Chrisley spent more than 21 years in the U.S. Air Force, advancing through the ranks to hold a variety of leadership and management positions within the Mission Support and Civil Engineer career fields. He served as Deputy Commander of the 99th Mission Support Group at Nellis AFB and Commander of the 799th Air Base Squadron at Creech AFB.

In these positions, Chrisley oversaw and managed base wide support activities including civil engineering, fire emergency services, personnel services, communications, morale/welfare/recreation programs, food services, emergency management, and transportation operations and maintenance.

Chrisley earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy, and a master’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin.

As always, a delicious plated lunch is only $32 (the price increases to $37 after Tuesday, May 7), and you are encouraged to register and purchase your lunch early at nevadacbn.com.

The Ahern is located at 300 W. Sahara Avenue just west of the Las Vegas Strip. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, May 9 at 11:45 to hear Jim Chrisley!
