"I am honored to join the dynamic members of the Airport Minority Advisory Council in working to achieve greater diversity and opportunity at our airports," said Jamie L. Rhee, Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Aviation. "As we have seen in Chicago, our world class airports thrive when businesses that reflect the diversity and talent of our communities have the resources needed to compete for airport contracts. I look forward to working with my colleagues across the country on ways we can expand opportunities for more small, entrepreneurial firms to join us as we expand O'Hare and Midway for the 21st century."
