ESTERO, Fla. (Nov. 22, 2016) – The Airport Consultants Council (ACC) is pleased to announce the election of Roddy Boggus, NCARB, AIA, of Suffolk Construction Company as chair of the 2017 ACC board of directors.
Boggus recently assumed the position at the ACC membership meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 15 during the 38th annual ACC Conference and Exposition in Newport Beach, Cali.

“It is truly an honor to be elected to represent the Airport Consultants Council as the chair of its board of directors for the 2017 year,” Boggus said. “I am totally committed to growing ACC’s offerings and strengths of education, innovation, collaboration and delivering excellence in airport development, that have been the foundation of ACC. It is a great time to be a part of the aviation industry and not just an observer.”
“Roddy is a true thought leader within the airport development community, and his background and perspectives will be a true asset to the organization,” ACC President T.J. Schulz said of Boggus’s election. “Roddy’s term comes at a unique time, as airports seek new ways to deliver projects that foster creative financing, partnership and innovation. I look forward to working with Roddy on ensuring that as an organization, ACC will meet the needs of the industry in the future.”
