Airport Cooperative Research Programs (ACRP) Subprograms

ACRP Ambassadors

ACRP Ambassadors


The ACRP Ambassador program is a premier practitioner engagement initiative within TRB. Ambassadors tell the ACRP story, help practitioners access and apply research to solve airport problems, serve as conduit of information between airports and ACRP, and strive to develop the next generation of airport leaders.


About

Ambassadors are airport industry practitioners who voluntarily serve as ACRP's representative, directly engaging with fellow airport practitioners and other stakeholders at industry conferences and events. They use these opportunities to disseminate ACRP's research results and encourage their implementation, engage fellow practitioners in ACRP's research process, and share information and key messages about the program. Ambassadors value:

  • Creating connections
  • Serving the greater good
  • Sharing information
  • Inspiring others to act

The Ambassador Experience

Ambassadors serve a two-year term and are expected to:

  • Attend Ambassador orientations (once per year).
  • Attend Ambassador teleconferences, respond to surveys, and provide ACRP with feedback on the Ambassador experience.
  • Help identify and secure exhibiting and speaking opportunities at airport industry events.
  • Attend 4-6 airport industry events as ACRP's representative and:
    1. Staff the ACRP exhibit booth.
    2. Present on ACRP's research process, ways to get involved, and other ACRP research-related topics.
    3. Describe and promote solutions (in the form of ACRP research products) to industry issues.
    4. Champion involvement in ACRP.
  • Help with ACRP's dissemination and industry engagement initiatives.

Having used ACRP research in my airport's operations, I want others to have the same opportunities.

Why Serve?

As an Ambassador, enjoy a unique connection to ACRP, TRB, and the National Academies' all widely respected organizations at the forefront of transportation research. Your service enables you to:

  • Attend industry events near you at minimal expense.
  • Network, share experiences, and collaborate with fellow industry practitioners.
  • Bring knowledge back to your own institution, agency, or employer.
  • Gain a deep understanding of ACRP and help shape its future.
  • Make a difference and give back to the airport industry.

ACRP provides Ambassadors with logistical and event planning support and pays for registration fees and onsite lodging. ACRP does not pay for Ambassadors' transportation to and from conferences, food, or incidental expenses. See the ACRP Ambassador Program Guidelines for additional information.
