(AIAA LA-LV) (Online) E-Town Hall Meeting: The Impact of COVID-19 Orders on The Aerospace Industry;

Over the last couple of weeks, local, state and federal governments have issued multiple orders to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. This presentation will address the content, meaning and implication of these orders and their impact on aerospace businesses as well as the evolving dynamics as the government continues to work to prevent the spread of the virus. The presentation will explore the varied impact on the industry based on multiple factors, including whether employees are deemed essential workers, whether a company has predominantly government or commercial contracts, and whether a company is a prime contractor, subcontractor or a vendor in the supply chain.
