Atlas Air’s Leisa Spears Snyder, Director of Organizational and Operational Training, participated as a panelist on the “Catalysts for Growth” discussion at the BE NKY 2026 Annual Forum on Friday, January 30 at Turfway Park in Florence, KY. BE NKY Growth Partnership is the economic development company for Northern Kentucky.
The Catalysts for Growth panel, moderated by Kimberly Rossetti, President of Economic Development at BE NKY Growth Partnership, brought together leaders from Northern Kentucky’s key industry sectors as they explored trends shaping the future of growth in advanced manufacturing, life sciences, information technology, and supply chain management.
Leisa was joined on the panel by:
• Adrian Hothem, President & CEO of Camco Chemical
• Nicholas Lyktey, Chief of Lab Operations at Gravity Diagnostics
• Ed Walton, CEO of STEP CG
“Today’s conversation reinforced that economic growth and workforce development go hand in hand,” said Leisa. ” Across industries, the demand for top talent continues to outpace supply. Atlas’ focus on developing talent internally and investing in aviation education strengthens not only our company, but the communities where we operate…including Northern Kentucky. This work is a meaningful part of our One Atlas Strategy.”
