“Paul Archambeault was a leader in A4A’s transformation, including restructuring our team, our dues, our bylaws and our focus as an advocacy organization, and he is truly deserving of this honor,” said Nicholas E. Calio, president and CEO of Airlines for America. “In addition to the work within A4A, Paul played an instrumental role in standing up the Known Crewmember program, which uses risk-based security and creates a separate screening lane for pilots and flight attendants, improving security and shortening airport security lines for customers. As a result of his work, we are far more focused and better able to serve our members and the flying and shipping public.
