Description
Join us for an exclusive Headliners Luncheon featuring Paul Hoback Jr., the newly appointed President and CEO of Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (SRQ), as he shares his vision for the future of one of the nation’s fastest-growing airports.
Paul brings more than 25 years of aviation leadership experience and a proven track record of managing transformative airport development projects. Before arriving at SRQ, he helped guide Pittsburgh International Airport’s $1.7 billion terminal modernization - an effort credited with generating billions in regional economic impact.
Paul is leading SRQ as it surpasses 4.5 million annual passengers and continues expanding its infrastructure, airline partnerships, and economic footprint across our region. At our Chamber Headliners luncheon he’ll discuss:
- His priorities as SRQ’s new CEO and what the airport’s leadership transition means for the region
- Plans to address capacity challenges, including parking, rental car facilities, and passenger experience improvements
- Opportunities for business growth tied to airport expansion and aviation-related development
- How SRQ’s continued rise strengthens tourism, workforce mobility, and regional connectivity
This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from one of our region’s most visible leaders on what’s ahead for one of the region’s most important transportation assets and how SRQ's growth impacts local businesses.
