Burghdorf named new community relations manager for airport

Burbank resident Lucy Burghdorf has been named manager of community

relations for the Burbank-Glendale- Pasadena Airport, it was

announced Friday.

Burghdorf was promoted from community-relations officer at a

special Airport Authority meeting Thursday. As community relations

officer, she marketed the airport’s residential acoustical-treatment

program, and personally signed up more than 1,300 homeowners to have

their homes insulated.

“Her contact with our neighbors in the insulation program has been

integral to the program’s success, and I am sure the airport’s role

in the broader community will be enhanced by Lucy’s efforts in her

new position,” Airport Authority Executive Director Dios Marrero

released in a statement.

Burghdorf, who is vice chairwoman of the Burbank Transportation

Commission, is a graduate of the 2003 Leadership Burbank program, and

serves on the advisory board of the National Federation of the Blind

of California.
