July 12, 2022

To the EIP Community:

As you may have heard, our co-founder, Phil Washington, was nominated last week by President Biden to serve as our nation’s next FAA Administrator. I know all of you join me in congratulating Phil and in offering our best wishes for a smooth and quick confirmation. We all recognize that Phil is one of the finest transportation executives and public servants in America. Coupled with his exemplary 24-year career in the United States Army, we can see why the President chose Phil to run the FAA.
