Apache Junction Mayor Jeff Serdy was elected chairman of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority (PMGAA) at the June Board of Director’s meeting. On an annual basis, the PMGAA Board elects a chairman and other officers from the six Board members.
Gila River Indian Community Lt. Gov. Robert Stone will serve as vice-chair, town of Queen Creek Mayor Gail Barney will serve as secretary, city of Phoenix Mayor Thelda Williams will serve as treasurer and Mesa Mayor John Giles and Gilbert Mayor Jenn Daniels will serve as directors.
“Gateway Airport is a major economic engine not only for the Phoenix East Valley, but the State of Arizona as a whole,” Serdy said. “I am honored to chair the board as we work together to build upon the recent success we have seen with SkyBridge Arizona, growing commercial passenger traffic, and increased development interest in the airport. Job creation and increased economic impact in the surrounding communities are vital to ensure a sustainable, thriving economy.”
