Paragon Aviation Group Hosts First International Leadership Meeting
/
Paragon Aviation Group held their inaugural international Leadership Meeting, November 8th – 10th at Odyssey Aviation Bahamas (MYNN) in Nassau, Bahamas. Leadership Meetings consist of a comprehensive FBO on-site evaluation with constructive feedback, shared best practices, guest speakers, group dinners, breakout sessions, and other networking opportunities for FBO general managers, owners, and executives.
Over 18 FBO mid- and upper-management attendees representing over 15 FBOs in the network participated in the three-day event held at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar and Odyssey’s FBO. The event kicked off with a welcome reception for attendees and their spouses hosted by Odyssey Aviation Bahamas. With four locations in the Bahamas, Odyssey Aviation is consistently rated as one of the top FBOs in the Caribbean with numerous accolades and awards.
“Odyssey Aviation Bahamas is our founding member and they were such a gracious host. The purpose of this meeting is for each member to gain more insight into their own FBO by building relationships and developing better practices,” said Megan Barnes, President of Paragon Aviation Group. “The more our members share during these meetings, the stronger our network becomes and in turn helps improve everyone’s operational, service, and sales efforts.”
Two awards are given out at the end of the event including an MVP Award which is voted on by attendees based on who they believed provided the most value and input during the meeting. This year’s winner was Bobby Courtney, Vice President of Aviation at Fontainebleau Aviation at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (KOPF). Scott Cutshall, Senior Vice President at Clay Lacy Aviation, took home the “Awesome Idea” Award where attendees presented an idea to the group on a way to save money or increase revenue at their operation.
