SearchThe Akron-Canton Airport is a government agency formed by Summit and Stark Counties under Section 308 of the Ohio Revised Code. CAK is the only Airport Authority in the state, allowing for significant flexibility and jurisdictional authority. The airport is governed by the Akron-Canton Regional Airport Board of Trustees.
The board is responsible for the strategic direction, and has complete fiscal and organizational oversight for the airport. The President & CEO reports directly to the board on the third Thursday of each month at 3pm. Each member contributes a unique area of expertise to the Board, including real estate, financial, law, and managerial expertise.
The eight board members serve four-year terms, serve with no compensation, and are appointed at the discretion of the appointing county. They can be reappointed indefinitely. Four of the eight trustees are appointed by the Summit County Executive (and approved by Council), and four are appointed by Stark County Commissioners.
