Employers benefit from having an ACRP Champion on board. Benefits include:

• Coordinated organizational engagement. Your ACRP Champion will become an in-house expert on ACRP. Champions help colleagues get involved in research and stay abreast of ACRP news, opportunities, and important dates.
• Access to best practices. Champions identify and disseminate ACRP research on topics relevant to your organization.
• Rewarding talent. Sponsoring a Champion demonstrates your commitment to helping young professionals grow professionally.

Any airport organization or firm that provides services to airports may enroll an ACRP Champion. Educational institutions that offer airport management programs may also enroll an ACRP Champion. In most instances, only one Champion (and sponsor) per organization is permitted.

• To become an ACRP Champion - High-performing professionals beginning their career in the airport industry are eligible to participate, but they must be sponsored (i.e., approved) by a CEO, vice president, senior manager, or practice leader at their airport, consultancy, or other organization.
• To sponsor an ACRP Champion – Champions must have support from their organization's leadership to participate. Sponsors may be the organization's CEO, vice president, senior manager, or a practice leader.

To get started, follow these simple steps:

1. Review the list of Participating Organizations. Only one Champion (and sponsor) per organization is permitted. If your organization is not listed, proceed to step 2.
2. Complete a brief enrollment form. Note: Enrollment requires registering for a MyACRP account. The prospective Champion or his or her sponsor may complete the form.
3. Once ACRP receives and processes the sponsor's approval, ACRP will send the Champion a "Welcome Aboard" email and instructions for accessing the online Champion portal and beginning the first mission.
