Dear fellow members of the SAOC,

We are proud to present you our SAOC website! This new concept of communication by the SAOC Board towards and from its members is one of the results of a new SAOC structure. Teamwork, action, dedication, information, two way communication, transparency, representation and decisiveness are crucial for the success of our organization. The “theme” of the year 2011 is “UNITED WE STAND”.

Our span of control is diverse and consists of safety, security, operations, cost control and quality. All subjects are covered on strategical, political, tactical and operational level. Your SAOC board is prepared for any challenge with a dedicated Chairman Ankie Prokos, Secretary-General Roel Oudeboon, Treasurer Frank van Balveren, Office Manager Reinier van der Marel, Richard Bond, Bas van der Jagt, Rob de Vriend and Marcel Moulijn.

We will be communicating with you through this website and newsletters in order to keep you up to date. On the website you can find all information in a conveniently arranged overview with buttons per subject. By clicking on buttons you can also send us your comments and recommendations.

Due to the fact that so many projects are of great importance to all users of the airport, we have adjusted our meeting schedules and started to organize monthly SAOC Strategic Meetings during which we inform and consult you and ask your consent. Presentations and discussions will be part of these meetings.

I would like to thank you for your support and I am counting on you all to make our SAOC an active and inspiring association with a lot of interaction and participation!

Kind regards, Ankie

Ankie Prokos-Kooij
Chairman SAOC/SGUC
