Earlier this month, we wrapped up our annual PASSION Summit in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ. The PASSION Summit is SSP America’s version of an annual meeting—if annual meetings involved themed dinners and award shows.
In August of 2024, the SSP America team had an extraordinary time at AMAC’s Airport Business Diversity Conference.
Recently, our Chief Operating Officer Amanda Busby and Vice President of People Sherree Coker brought their teams together in Phoenix to collaborate. Their conversations revolved around managing growth, our many jobs hiring now, delivering a world-class experience to passengers, and cultivating a culture filled with PASSION. The PASSION was evident!
At SSP America, we like to say ‘safety first—AND second.’ That’s why we celebrate team members as they go through training like the Preventive Controls Qualified Individual Training for Human Food.
