    Join us for the next episode of Access Granted: Runways & Roadways! This episode was recorded live at AMAC LA's Fall Soiree event in Los Angeles! The event featured numerous large, medium, and small businesses as well as Long Beach Airport, Ontario International Airport, and Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA)!

    We were lucky to have Mark Frank, Deputy Executive Director - Sourcing and Economic Impact join us from LAWA prior to the start of the Fall Soiree. "Impact" is a word Mark lives up to through his actions in helping to open doors for small business to work with LAWA. Its folks like Mark, who shares a similar path with many small businesses out there that don't have "No" in their vocabulary. His commitment through his work with LAWA is something we all are grateful for. Tune in and hear directly from Mark Frank. You won't regret it! Thank you, Mark!
