Jamie joins the Salina Airport Authority after a 29-year career with Saline County.

Jamie will work alongside Swanson during a transition period to ensure continuity of operations and the transfer of institutional knowledge before assuming the full responsibilities of the position.

“Shelli’s 30 years of dedicated service have made a lasting impact on the Salina Airport Authority,” Miller said. “Her knowledge, professionalism and commitment to the organization have been invaluable. We are grateful for everything she has contributed throughout her career and appreciate her commitment to helping make this leadership transition a successful one.”
