The Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission retained ADK Consulting and Executive Search to recruit their new Executive Director. After a nationwide search, Stephen Baker was named as Executive Director and will provide leadership, supervision, coordination, and direction of all activities and staff at the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT).

On June 20, the Little Rock Municipal Airport Commission voted to hire Mr. Baker from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), where he serves as Vice President of Business Administration and Deputy Vice President of Revenue Innovation.

“We are delighted to have Steve join us as the new executive director of Clinton National Airport,” Bill Walker, the chair of the Airport Commission, said in a statement. “His exceptional experience and leadership will be essential as we work with staff to expand the airport and build on the successes of our previous executive director.”

Mr. Baker has worked for MWAA since 2005. The Authority oversees Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport. His previous work experience includes positions with Miami-Dade County’s aviation department, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, American Airlines and United Airlines.
