AEROSPACE ADVOCATES: AIAA'S PUBLIC POLICY EFFORTS

While much attention has recently been placed on the Institute's governance changes, there has been a great deal of activity in their public policy efforts as well. Just last month AIAA held its 19th Annual Congressional Visits Day (CVD). CVD is an exciting and eye-opening event that brings members from all over the country to Washington DC for a day of advocacy an Capitol Hill. Participants have an opportunity to meet with their elected officials to help promote the Institute's key issues and raise awareness of the long-term value that science, engineering, and technology bring to the nation.
