The City of Redmond has hired Kim Dickie as their next airport director. Dickie is currently a department head at San Francisco International Airport where she has served in various management positions for over 20 years.
Dickie, who will succeed long-time Roberts Field Manager Carrie Novick, is an experienced civilian and military officer with comprehensive experience in many facets of aviation operations. She currently is a colonel in the Air Force Reserves and holds a bachelor of arts and a master of science from the University of Southern California.
Dickie will join the Redmond team in January 2012.

From KTVZ.COM News Sources: SFO is the nation’s 10th-largest airport, with more than 18 million annual boardings. By comparison, Roberts Field had 236,000 boardings last year.
The new selection actually comes on the third search for an airport manager. Earlier this year, two finalist candidates were invited to interview, but both dropped out of the running. In May, the job was offered to Wisconsin resident John Reed, but he declined the offer over concerns about whether his wife, a high school teacher, would be able to find a job in the area.
Novick had planned to retire June 30, but agreed to stay on until the position was filled.
