The Burbank-Glendale-Pasadena Airport Authority, which owns and operates the Bob Hope Airport, elected new officers to its commission this week.

Steve Madison, representing Pasadena, was elected president, while Frank Quintero, representing Glendale, was elected vice president and Bill Wiggins, representing Burbank, was named secretary.

Madison was appointed to the commission in 2010 and has served as secretary and vice president previously.

Quintero was appointed in 2008 and has served as secretary, vice president and president in the past.

Wiggins joined the commission in 2001 and has served as secretary, vice president and president since then.

Each member will serve a one-year term in their posts.

Also, the authority reappointed Wiggins as auditor and named Terry Tornek, representing Pasadena, as treasurer and Dan Feger, the airport’s executive director, as assistant secretary.

The authority is governed by a nine-member commission, and each of the three cities appoints three commissioners to the panel.
