Executive Vice President at Wabash Capital Named to Terre Haute Airport Authority Board

TERRE HAUTE, July 14, 2010 – Terre Haute Mayor Duke Bennett has named Wabash Capital Co-Founder and Executive Vice President Chris Doll to the Terre Haute International Airport Authority Board of Directors.  The Airport Authority has six board members with three members appointed by the Vigo County Commissioners and three appointed by the Mayor.

Doll is no stranger to aviation, earning his undergraduate degree in Aviation Administration from Indiana State University. He has been flying airplanes since he was 16 and earned his private pilot license at 17.  After marrying and starting a family, he became less involved with flying.  "I think this is a great way to refamiliarize myself again," says Doll.

"I'm looking forward to working with Airport Director Dennis Wiss and the Board to help make the most of our airport's potential.  It is a valuable asset to our community," Doll said. He highlights the fact that the airport sits in the center of the United States in a state with a relatively low tax base.  "With the right effort, the airport really should be able to attract business capital," according to Doll.

The appointment to the Board is for four years, expiring June of 2014.
