MEDIA RELEASE
From the American Association of Airport Executives
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Paul Priegel, A.A.E., Airport Director, Stillwater Regional Airport,
Stillwater, OK, has been awarded the distinction of Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.)
by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).
To qualify for his distinction, Paul had to successfully complete three phases of
the accreditation process: (1) pass a 180-item multiple-choice examination, (2) fulfill a
writing requirement, and (3) demonstrate, in the final interview by a panel of A.A.E.s, his
knowledge of airport management, business administration, and general transportation
economics. Paul’s achievement attests to his ability to meet these stringent
requirements and his experience in managing a public airport.
By fulfilling all the requirements leading to the title of Accredited Airport
Executive, Paul joins a select group of individuals who have earned the designation in
the six plus decades of the accreditation program’s existence. At present, fewer than 10
percent of AAAE’s members throughout the country are active accredited airport
executives.
