As Orange County grows, so does the demand for air travel. Expansion brings opportunity—but also responsibility. Local aviation leaders will share how they are meeting this challenge head-on: advancing efficiency and guest experience while maintaining their commitment to being a good neighbor, minimizing impacts like noise and traffic, and fostering harmony with the surrounding community.

Join us at the prestigious Pacific Club for an extraordinary luncheon where the Orange County Chapter of Lambda Alpha International will explore aviation’s transformative impact on our region—past, present, and future. This is your opportunity to gain insider perspectives on how air travel shapes economic development and enhances guest experiences.

Featured Thought Leaders:

• Scott Cutshall, President of Real Estate & Sustainability, Clay Lacy Aviation
• Insights from one of the nation’s leading private aviation companies with a strong presence at JWA.
• Assistant Airport Director of John Wayne Airport (JWA)
• A visionary look at JWA’s story, strategic initiatives, and future plans for operational excellence and community engagement.

Why You Can’t Miss This: LAI members will hear directly from those driving one of Orange County’s most significant catalysts for growth. This is more than a luncheon—it’s a meeting of minds shaping the future of aviation and regional prosperity.
