Boise Airport (BOI) director Rebecca Hupp has announced plans to retire. Hupp, who served the City of Boise for 14 years, led the airport to an 82% increase in traffic over the last decade. Following Hupp’s departure in June, BOI deputy director of finance and business development Kathleen Watkins will serve as interim director, with city leadership set to share further recruiting efforts in the coming weeks.
“Serving the Boise community and leading this exceptional airport team has been the honor of a lifetime,” said Hupp. “I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together and grateful for the partnerships, employees and community support that have helped Boise Airport continue to grow and thrive.”
“Rebecca has had an incredible tenure at the Boise Airport through strong leadership and clear vision that has welcomed unprecedented and seamless growth,” said Boise Mayor Lauren McLean. “Her contributions to Boise, both professionally and personally, will have a lasting impact on our community.”
