Always Embracing What’s Next—Lessons in Leadership with CVG CEO Candace McGraw

In this session of our Series, we will hear from the CEO of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), Candace McGraw. Candace will share lessons on leadership drawing on more than 30 years of operational and legal expertise in the aviation industry. She is the architect and implementer of CVG’s turnaround story of the last decade, responsible for landing one of the Cincinnati region’s biggest business deals ever—the $1.5 billion Amazon Air hub. Candace will join Dean Jenny Darroch to help participants understand why airports are critical to regional economic growth and how Miami University is a key partner with CVG in that work.
