By Mimi Ryals<\/em><\/p>\n

Sue was an\u00a0exceptional airport leader who garnered respect and admiration among her colleagues,\u201d remembers Candace McGraw, Chief Executive Officer of Cincinnati\/Northern Kentucky International Airport and Chair of Airports Council International \u2013 North America (ACI-NA). \u201cShe knew the industry and her craft and was always willing to share her knowledge and passion for the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her 40-year career, Susan (Sue) M. Baer is credited with shattering the glass-ceiling in transportation. In doing so, she worked to strengthen aviation in the United States to ensure a successful future for the industry. Following her passing in 2016, she continues to leave a legacy worthy of being recognized with the 2018 William E. Downes, Jr. Award, ACI-NA\u2019s highest honor.<\/p>\n

TUNNELS, BRIDGES AND AIRPORTS<\/h4>\n

Though she has had a profound impact on the aviation industry, Baer began her career at the Panama Canal. When the U.S. passed control of the facility to the Panamanians, she joined the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as a management analyst in the tunnels, bridges and terminals department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey wanted women who could type,\u201d Baer recalled, as quoted in 2006 in Tom Murphy\u2019s book Reclaiming the Sky: 9\/11 and the Untold Story of the Men and Women Who Kept America Flying<\/em>. \u201cI convinced them that after traveling on my own through South and Central America, I could take whatever they gave me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baer proved she could take whatever they gave her. She was swiftly promoted to Manager of the Public Services Division within the department. Then, she was named the Manager of the Lincoln Tunnel. She was the first woman to hold that position.<\/p>\n

Next, Baer became the Manager of the Midtown Manhattan Port Authority Bus terminal, the world\u2019s busiest bus terminal. She was the first woman to hold that position, too.<\/p>\n

After mastering her various roles thus far in the agency, Baer joined the Aviation Department as General Manager of Aviation Customer and Marketing Services in 1988. She became the first person to manage all of the major agency airports \u2013 LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport. In 2009, she was named was named Director of Aviation for the agency. She was the first woman to hold that position.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough she followed in the footsteps of several powerful men, Sue charted her own course with a collaborative style that generated innovation,\u201d recalls Ginger Evans, former Commissioner of the Chicago Department of Aviation.<\/p>\n

Baer retired in 2013 following 25 years in the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey\u2019s Aviation Department. To continue her successful career in the industry, she joined Arup, one of the world\u2019s largest professional engineering and consulting firms. Her final role was as the firm\u2019s Global Aviation Business Leader, where she oversaw consulting efforts at over 100 airports worldwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cSue was the ultimate trailblazer, having been the first female General Manager at three of the largest airports in the United States (LGA, EWR, JFK) and then running one of the largest airport systems in the world, first as Deputy Director and then Director of Aviation at The Port Authority,\u201d notes Lysa Scully, General Manager of LaGuardia Airport. \u201cHer success and achievements have set the bar to a level that the rest of the industry will have to work endlessly to try and reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Natural Leader for Airports<\/h4>\n

Baer was regarded as a \u201cnatural leader\u201d who exuded confidence and passion. Such traits were a vital part of her successfully managing one of the world\u2019s most active aviation hubs. She understood the important role the airport plays in creating a seamless travel experience. Thus, she led multiple modernization efforts at New York City\u2019s major airports.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018People say to me: \u2018Your airports are always under construction. When\u2019s it going to be done?\u2019\u201d Baer commented to USA Today<\/em> on the continual modernization efforts underway in New York\u2019s airport terminals. \u201c\u2018I tell them: \u2018I hope never\u2019, because that means we\u2019ve stopped and we\u2019re not really meeting the needs of the future. You\u2019ve always got to be doing something.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Any expert in the aviation industry will tell you that modernization efforts are necessary on the ground and in the sky. Baer was an advocate for a modernized air space to match the continual improvements the agency was making to airport terminals. She was one of the first airport leaders to champion implementing the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), the FAA\u2019s modernization of America\u2019s air transportation system that aims to make flying more efficient.<\/p>\n

She also had a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges of the New York airspace and air carriers that use it. \u201cSue also understood how supporting a new carrier like JetBlue that is and was dedicated to delivering low fares with a better customer experience would help discipline prices of other carriers and challenge the industry to raise its customer service game,\u201d said Joanna Geraghty, President and Chief Operating Officer of JetBlue.<\/p>\n

At Arup, Baer used her legendary leadership skills to foster collaboration between airport management and the design industry. Her expertise and enthusiasm made her an invaluable asset in preparing airports and the broader aviation industry for the future of travel.<\/p>\n

A Legacy for Future Leaders<\/h4>\n

\u201cAs smart, effective and successful as she was, she will be remembered more for the integrity, kindness and wisdom with which she conducted herself in all she did,\u201d said Jenny Buckley, America\u2019s Aviation Leader for Arup.<\/p>\n

Living by the motto \u201cPay it forward,\u201d Baer left a legacy that ensures the future of the aviation industry and its leaders will flourish. During the busiest years of her career, she found time for a teaching role at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in Queens, NY in hopes of making a rewarding career in the industry accessible to all genders, races and social-economic backgrounds.<\/p>\n

A substantial part of Baer\u2019s legacy is shattering the glass ceiling for women in transportation. She was the first woman to hold the majority of her leadership positions at the Port Authority of New York and Jersey \u2013 a revolutionary accomplishment during a time where the presence of women was rare in these industries. Following in her footsteps, there are nearly 40 women leading North America\u2019s thriving airports today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I\u2019ve tried to do with it is give other women opportunities, and that\u2019s something all women should be doing,\u201d Baer once told USA Today<\/em>. \u201cIt was hard for us to get here, but we ought to be making it easier for the people who are coming behind us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
