Former President And CEO Of The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA)
The Tennessee State Legislature has passed a Senate Joint Resolution honoring the retirement and contributions of Raul L. Regalado, former President and CEO of the Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA), for his advancements to the civil aviation industry and his tenure with the MNAA.
State Senators Jim Tracy, Douglas Henry, Steven Dickerson and Thelma Harper were sponsors of Senate Joint Resolution #35. Regalado joined the Airport Authority in early 2001 and guided the Nashville International and John C. Tune airports through the effects of the 9-11, the turmoil in the airline industry caused by a number of fuel crises, airline bankruptcies and the recent economic recession, among others.
The resolution notes that under his leadership, Nashville International was transformed by a major renovation of the airline terminal building and the construction of a state of the art consolidated rental car facility. Regalado also began the implementation for continuous improvement within the organization and The Authority recently received the Award of Excellence from the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence, the highest award they bestow.
He was named Nashvillian of the Year for 2011 by the Nashville Kiwanis Club and has served on numerous public service Boards and committees, including serving as a member of the U.S. Secretary of Transportation's 2010 Future of Aviation Advisory Committee. “I am humbled and honored by this recognition,” said Regalado, “ it is always satisfying when you can make a contribution to your community.”
In July of last year, Regalado officially retired from the Authority and opened new offices in downtown Nashville, running his own management consulting firm - Raul Regaldo & Associates. The firm provides consulting services to small and mid-¬size businesses and individual executives, specializing in Strategic Planning, Organization and Leadership Development, Succession and Transition Planning, Continuous Improvement, Executive Coaching, and Business Development.
