Registration is now open for any United States-based AIAA member who would like to participate in the Institute's 24th annual Congressional Visits Day (CVD) program, which be held the week of 14 March. Given the health and travel concerns related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, along with the strict protocols to access the Capitol Complex, this year's event will once again be entirely virtual.
Your contributions to this upcoming event will be invaluable as the aerospace and defense (A&D) industry, and its supply chain, continues to be impacted by the prolonged pandemic. We will call on lawmakers to address the ongoing needs of the industry, including the following key issues:
- Ensuring technological competitiveness, commercialization, and behavioral norms in the space economy
- Growing, evolving, and diversifying the 21st century workforce
- Investing in research and technologies that drive innovation and sustainability across the A&D industry
- Providing initiatives for recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that the U.S. retains global aerospace leadership
