Airport Policy Making With Walter Vinson

Walter Vinson was born in Chicago, Illinois. Both of his parents were Chicago public school teachers and are politically active. Thus, Walter understood politics at an early age. He graduated college at Alcorn State University in Laurel, Mississippi, majoring in business administration. After that, his father and uncle persuaded him to volunteer for a family friend entering a congressional race.

Getting involved in the political campaign made Walter realize that this was the path he wanted to take. Though his degree is not aligned with his chosen career, it helped him to understand how to network, create relationships from scratch, and solidify them. Since then, his career as a lobbyist began. Switching from politics to policy, Walter now focuses on ensuring the production of good government to the constituency.
 
Walter Vinson is now the Assistant General Manager, Business Diversity & Government Affairs at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, specializing in policy decision-making.
