The Chattanooga airport has named Tena Keith as vice president of finance and administration along with Kristen Behm as vice president of public relations and air service development.

“Both Tena and Kristen’s experiences and abilities complement the overall goal of the Chattanooga Airport and support the vision of growth and development we are diligently working towards,” said Terry Hart, president and CEO of the Chattanooga Airport. “We believe they will make excellent additions to the team.”

For the past 16 years, Ms. Keith has served as the director of finance for the Chattanooga Airport, learning directly from her predecessor, April Cameron, who will be assuming the role of president and CEO come August. During that time, Ms. Keith supported the organization through many changes and facility upgrades. Prior to her time at the airport, she worked in accounting for several industries including retail and manufacturing.

“After watching the Chattanooga Airport continuously grow and develop, I am ready to be able to assist the organization in an even bigger way,” said Ms. Keith.

With over two decades of experience in marketing, Ms. Behm has a seasoned perspective in the travel industry. She served as the director of marketing for some of Chattanooga’s beloved tourism attractions including See Rock City, Blowing Springs Farm and Clumpies Ice Cream Co., where she boosted attendance and sales and built relationships with local business partners.

“The Chattanooga Airport has begun to meet and will soon exceed pre-pandemic enplanements with the terminal expansion and additional nonstop flight options, which include the recently announced Miami flight. I look forward to supporting and further developing its strategic marketing initiatives here in our spectacular Scenic City,” said Ms. Behm.

Prior to joining the airport, Ms. Behm also served as the director of marketing for the Plainview Group where she creatively collaborated with clients to envision their digital marketing needs.
