Justification
  1. Justification

    Donor relations and support of national award winner

    Passengers will travel from MGW to the San Diego airport to a WVU Alumni event hosted by the San Diego Chapter. At the event, they interact with alums, donors and potential donors. From there, they travel to Dana Point, CA in support of Deputy Director of Athletics Keli Zinn being named to the prestigiou s Sports Business Journal’s Forty Under 40 class of 2019. Keli Zinn was honored at the annual Forty U nder 40 events at the conclusion of the CAA World Congress of Sports, April 3-4 in Dana Point, CA. This gives WVU very positive exposure at the national collegiate level. Note: passengers needed to travel out of LAX (instead of SAN) due to noise ordinance in place in Southern CA and it was imperative they return to MGW that evening in order to tend to official University business on WVU campus the next day.
