Ray and Sandy Mundy Scholarship
Honoring a Legacy. Investing in the Future.
The Ray and Sandy Mundy Scholarship was established by resolution of the AGTA Board of Directors to honor the extraordinary leadership, service, and lasting contributions of Dr. Ray Mundy and Sandy Mundy to the Airport Ground Transportation Association and the industry as a whole.
Since 1976, Ray and Sandy have played a central role in shaping AGTA into a critical forum for discussion and collaboration between airports and ground transportation operators. Through their leadership, AGTA has promoted high-quality transportation service, efficient use of airport resources, and sustainable business models for ground operators across North America.
A Scholarship with Purpose
In September 2023, the AGTA Board formally created the Ray and Sandy Mundy Scholarship in recognition of their 47 years of dedicated service. The scholarship covers expenses related to annually sending a student to attend an AGTA conference, providing direct access to education, networking, and real-world industry insight.
In 2026, the scholarship was expanded to include a $5,000 award for the selected student recipient.
Over their tenure, Ray and Sandy planned and managed more than 90 AGTA conferences, overseeing hotels, speakers, programming, special events, and financial success. These conferences have educated members on evolving trends in:
- Personnel and workforce development
- Vehicles and fleet operations
- Technology and innovation
- Regulations, fees, fares, and policy
All aspects of the airport ground transportation industry have benefited from their work, and this scholarship ensures that legacy continues by investing in future leaders.

The Mundy Legacy
The Ray and Sandy Mundy Scholarship was created following a milestone moment in AGTA history, marking the transition of leadership after decades of service.
Dr. Ray Mundy served as AGTA’s Executive Director for 47 years, while Sandy Mundy supported the association in leadership and administrative roles throughout that time. Together, their involvement with AGTA began in 1976 and helped establish a strong foundation for collaboration between industry and academia.
