Inside Look: RDU and Small Business

There are amazing things happening at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport as it helps grow local women and minority owned enterprises. Even through the pandemic and recovery, the North American airport industry has continued to focus on resiliency and the future with intense focus on infrastructure, sustainability, diversity, equity, inclusion, economic development, workforce development, technology, and innovation. We recently caught up with Thiané Carter, Director of Small Business Programs for the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, to learn a little about her day-to-day work in supporting important small businesses at RDU. "That is rewarding because I know we are having an impact on those underserved communities," said Carter.
