Alexandria, Va. – The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) Foundation has permanently endowed a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Scholarship in honor of past AAAE Chair Carl D. Newman, A.A.E., who passed away recently after a distinguished career of service to AAAE and the aviation industry. The endowed Diversity, Equity & Inclusion scholarship, the association’s second, will allow for the issuance of annual awards totaling at least $5,000 to deserving students in perpetuity.
“Carl was passionate about mentorship and developing individuals, which contributed to his success as an airport leader and made him a role model for many across our industry, including myself,” said AAAE Chair Perry Miller, A.A.E., I.A.P., President and CEO of the Richmond International Airport, and a close friend of Newman. “His legacy will live on in every student who receives this scholarship in his name.”
The Carl D. Newman, A.A.E., Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Scholarship will be awarded annually to an ethnic minority student (Black or African American; Hispanic or Latino; American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian; or Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders) enrolled in a college or university aviation program with a junior, senior, or graduate student standing and a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
Newman served as AAAE Chair in 2016-2017. During his career, he served as airport manager at Glendale Municipal in Arizona, Chief Executive Officer of the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority and in senior positions with the Houston Airport System and the City of Phoenix Aviation Department.
In addition to holding the position of AAAE Chair, Newman served on AAAE's Policy Review Council, Nominating Committee, Leadership Task Force, the U.S. Contract Tower Association, and International Association of Airport Executives Board.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
