We’re just three and a half weeks away from the CD/NLA Executive Retreat in fabulous Miami from June 2-5, and we couldn’t be more excited. We’re pleased to announce that, to date, we have 150 of the best operators joining us, making our available slots three-quarters filled. If you’ve been on the fence about joining the industry networking and education event of the spring, now’s the time to register. Just head on over to cdnlaexecutiveretreat.com to sign up today.
“This event really brings the opportunity to build closer relationships. The CD/NLA Executive Retreat’s format has a good balance of lectures and leisure time and activities,” says Jaime Gonzalez-Valdes of American Transportation & Limo Services.
In addition to the unique and intimate networking opportunities you’ll receive from the event, we’re especially proud of the one-of-a-kind educational sessions presented over Monday and Tuesday. What makes the retreat different from our Fall and Vegas shows is the in-depth—and highly interactive—aspect of our educational content, thanks to our smaller class sizes and cohesive sessions.
“The CD/NLA Executive Retreat is different than the CD/NLA Show. It was more down-to-earth and easier to meet like-minded folks. The informal environment presents more opportunities to focus on sessions and meeting people and sharing business experience,” says Gary Arrington of Virginia Premium Transportation Services

DH2 Chauffeured Transportation, a distinguished provider of luxury ground transportation in the New York metro area, has been named an official transportation provider for the ambitious New Terminal One (NTO) at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). This significant achievement not only underscores DH2's commitment to excellence but also highlights the opportunities for Minority Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE)-certified businesses within the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s large-scale infrastructure projects.
CEO Nancy Vargas and COO Mike Vargas
DH2 offers a shuttle bus service for NTO team members commuting to and from the NTO office on the JFK Airport campus, providing an essential link from public transportation hubs in Queens.
For DH2, participation in NTO means more than just business expansion; it represents a chance to contribute to the economic growth of local communities by creating more job opportunities and by encouraging other businesses to participate in NTO. DH2 is a certified MWBE located in Queens at JFK Airport. The company is highly regarded for providing seamless, professional transportation solutions, from airport transfers to corporate travel, construction shuttle service, airline crew shuttles, and large group events.
DH2 CEO & Owner Nancy Vargas expressed her enthusiasm, stating, "Being part of NTO at JFK is not just an honor; it's a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team over the past 29 years. This opportunity will allow us to expand our workforce and continue our commitment to providing top-tier transportation services. We appreciate NTO’s dedication to creating opportunities for MWBE and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOB), and we hope that other local MWBE and SDVOB companies will participate as well.”
The New Terminal One is a world-class international terminal scheduled to open its first phase in 2026. It is being constructed as part of the $19 billion redevelopment of JFK Airport, in partnership with The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which has mandated 30 percent MWBE participation in the airport redevelopment project.
With a goal to be recognized as one of the top ten airport terminals worldwide, NTO will be designed sustainably and focused on the future. The 23-gate terminal will offer cutting- edge technology, beautiful public spaces, and 300,000 square feet of amenities for passengers to enjoy. Construction broke ground in 2022, and the terminal’s first phase is scheduled to open to the public in 2026.
NTO is expected to set new standards in airport design, functionality, and passenger experience. For DH2 and other MWBE businesses, the project is a gateway to new possibilities, enabling them to showcase their capabilities on a grand stage.
