Transportation & Transportation Security Law Section

Message from the Chair

I thank you for your involvement, encouragement and support. Your recommendations, questions, and ideas make us a better Section. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Lindy Knapp, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Deputy General Counsel, who will be retiring after 38 years of Federal service. Lindy, who has been an invaluable advisor to 14 DOT Secretaries and 16 General Counsels, has supported the Transportation and Transportation Security Law Section over the years, and has been a principal reason why our Section has been so successful. It is with deep appreciation for Lindy's support of our Section that we say "Thank You" to such a great partner.

In terms of our Section's activities, our Board has been quite busy. Since the new Section Board took over, we have sponsored several events for our membership, including our Annual Legislative Update, a half-day Aviation Security Law Forum, and a Lawyers Luncheon on Regulatory Issues and Legal Perspectives on Airline Bankruptcies. We are currently in the planning stages for two upcoming Lawyers Luncheons that will prove to be informative and fun.

We hope that you continue to support and be involved in the Section this year. Please encourage your colleagues, both within and outside of the government, to join us and become active members in the Transportation and Transportation Security Law Section. See you at one of our upcoming events soon.
