As an aerospace professional or student, you have a vested interest in promoting the Institute’s various public policy activities. AIAA’s 23rd annual Congressional Visits Day (CVD) program will take place during the week of 15 March 2021, and we strongly encourage you to participate.
Given the continued health and travel concerns related to the coronavirus pandemic, the program will be unlike that of any previous year—it will be entirely virtual. It will also take place over an entire week. We hope that this allows for more AIAA members to participate and ultimately provides an opportunity to present our message to more congressional offices.
Support for this upcoming event will be invaluable during a time when COVID-19 is weakening the resilient aerospace and defense industry. Enormous revenue losses, large-scale unemployment in aviation, erosion of military capabilities, and the breakdown of essential supply chains composed of small and mid-sized companies are creating a dire situation that cannot easily be reversed unless more is done by our decision makers in Washington, DC.
Here is your opportunity to make a difference for aerospace: please register for CVD by going to the provided link. For more information about the CVD program please contact Steve Sidorek, AIAA Public Policy.
