A

So
it's
truly
a
privilege
and
an
honor
to
have
the
opportunity
to
honor
and
salute
the
foot
off
International
Airport
exhibitions
program
and,
if
you're
a
frequent
flyer
such
as
myself,
then
my
wife
and
you
take
my
boys
on
vacation
with
us.
And
if
you
wanted
something
about
an
experience
when
you
come
to
the
city
of
Philadelphia
or
leaving
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
you
have
to
experience
the
exhibits
that
takes
place
at
the
foot
of
it.
International,
Airport,
they're,
very
diverse,
but,
most
importantly,
the
enhance
your
experience
as
a
customer.
B
Flying
and
servicing
the
foot
off.
International,
Airport
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank,
first
and
foremost
to
leadership
for
putting
forth
great
exhibits
and
also
my
good
friend,
the
CEO
of
the
foot
up
International
Airport,
the
Shelly
Cameron
for
her
leadership
and
really
since
she's
taking
the
helm
of
the
foot
up.
International
Airport
has
taken
it
to
the
next
level,
while
overseeing
8.1
billion
dollar
expansion.
B
We
talk
a
lot
about
diversity
and
inclusion
here
in
this
body,
and
the
foot
of
International
Airport
is
among,
if
not
the
top
departments,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
diversity
and
inclusion.
Under
the
leadership
of
Councilwoman
blind
Ellen's
brown
prior
to
me,
coming,
the
City
Council
have
led
that
fight.
That
makes
sure
that
the
contracts,
the
professional
services
opportunities
are
available
for
all
to
participate
in
at
the
foot
of
International
Airport.
We
will
continue
on
that
mission
and
so
I.
C
D
She
really
loves
the
airport.
She
she
took
my
spot
uh-huh.
Where
is
the
the
exhibits
are
located
across
the
airport
in
all
seven
terminals
and
our
cultural
throughout
the
year
curated
throughout
the
year
and
presented
in
a
variety
of
Philadelphia,
centric
art
and
promotes
citywide
events
under
the
leadership
of
the
founding
director
exhibit
Lee
Douglas.
The
exhibits
programs
has
organized
more
than
400
exhibits,
featuring
the
works
of
artists
and
cultural
institutions
from
across
this
city
and
region.
So
I
practice,
my
part
and
just
read
her
part,
whereas.
G
I
J
Most
importantly,
the
exhibitions,
the
programs
at
Philadelphia
International
Airport,
has
enriched
the
experience
of
nearly
30
million
travelers
who
moved
through
the
airport
each
years
and
passengers
have
commented
that
the
exhibits
provided.
The
version
from
the
stress
of
travel
create
a
positive
reflection
on
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and.
K
Whereas
the
American
Association
of
airport
executives
has
written
that
quote
airport
art
and
culture,
art
programs,
lure
guests
to
return
to
the
airport,
promote
the
airport's
cool
factor
through
social
media
and
showcase
the
city
of
the
region's
art
and
culture.
In
recognition
of
the
exhibits,
program's
success,
the
airport
of
an
airport
executives
association
has
chosen
phl
as
to
host
the
airport
for
its
16th
annual
arts
in
the
airport
workshop
in
October
2018.
L
And
whereas
the
city
of
Philadelphia
is
home
to
a
wealth
of
arts,
culture
and
history
of
which
its
citizens
are
truly
proud
for
the
last
20
years,
Philadelphia
International
Airport's
exhibitions
program
has
helped
to
highlight
that
unique
heritage
and
the
city
joins
in
celebrating
this
milestone
anniversary.
Now,
therefore,
be
it.
B
M
M
We
serve,
as
you
heard,
approximately
30
million
passengers
a
year
and
that
translates
into
over
80,000
people
a
day
who
are
exposed
to
the
art
of
philadelphians
in
our
Airport,
and
those
are
philadelphians
that
travel
through
the
airport,
but
those
from
all
over
the
world
have
a
greater
appreciation
for
this
amazing
City
because
of
the
program
that
Lea
has
put
together.
So
I
am
very
grateful.
Councilman
Johnson
for
your
introduction
of
this
resolution
and
I
understand
councilman
green
councilman,
Heenan,
councilman,
Topham,
burger,
Councilwoman,
Parker
and
councilman's
will
also
co-sponsored
it
so
again.
Thank
you.
M
I
just
want
to
take
one
moment
and
recognize
the
real
people
behind
this
program,
because
it
sure
isn't
me
Lea,
Douglas
Lea
come
on
up
here
with
me:
Lea
a
proud
graduate
of
the
temple
Tyler
School
of
Art,
and
it
is
her
passion
that
has
brought
this
program
to
life,
as
you
heard
20
years
and
over
400
exhibits,
and
none
of
that
would
have
happened
without
Leah.
She
also
has
a
very
strong
team
behind
her
and
so
I'd
like
to
recognize
those
four
members.
