A coveted airport industry award for the Goodwill Ambassablog

Hats off to the team of Goodwill Ambassabloggers for being honored with a coveted airport industry award -- a 2008 Excellence in Marketing & Communications Award from the Airports Council International-North America! ACI-NA, as it's known, is the premier organization representing local, regional and state governing bodies that own and operate commercial airports in the United States and Canada.

The Goodwill Ambassablog took a 'silver medal' (2nd place) in the Creative Innovations /Technology category. The competition featured entries from airports throughout North America. Not bad for an employee blog that is less than a year old!

In fact, San Diego International Airport was one of only four airports in the competition to earn four or more awards this year. In addition to the award for the Ambassablog, the airport won 2nd place awards for its popular Terminals to Tarmac Tours, offered free to the public, and for its fun-filled 2008 Activity Book for kids, as well as a 3rd place award for its internal e-newsletter, e-JetStreams.

Congratulations Ambassabloggers! And thanks also to all our readers for helping make the Ambassablog such a success in the industry.
