“As a 6th generation Texan and a 3rd generation Houstonian I love welcoming people to our city,” said Susan Barrow, Volunteer Ambassador for Houston Airports.
Inside the always-bustling George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Susan Barrow stands out not just as a Houston Airports Volunteer Ambassador but as a beacon of warmth and assistance to passengers arriving in Houston over the last 14 years.
As a Houston Airports Volunteer Ambassador, Barrow not only navigates passengers through terminals but also serves as a mentor to her fellow volunteers, creating connections that go beyond flight schedules.
“As a 6th generation Texan and a 3rd generation Houstonian I love welcoming people to our city,” said Susan Barrow, Volunteer Ambassador for Houston Airports. “I hope that everyone will love Houston like I do. It gives me pleasure to suggest things to see, places to go and activities to excite everyone. Helping people navigate our beautiful IAH thrills me and gives me pleasure. I feel at home at IAH.”
What sets the Houston Airports Volunteer Ambassador Program apart is not just the service it provides but the friendships it forges. For Barrow, being an Ambassador is not just a role – it's an opportunity to meet incredible individuals who become lifelong friends. "The program has allowed me to serve my community, introducing me to amazing people who have become family," said Barrow.
