Public Policy

Page 76: AIAA Technical Activities Committee Director/Deputy Director Training Kathleen Atkins Director, Aerospace Design & Structures 3 January 2011.

77

Congressional Visits Day

• AIAA’s annual member-driven policy outreach activity to Congress and the Executive Branch.

• Allows CVD participants to converse with key decision makers in Congress on the matters that mean the most to AIAA. Visit teams are organized by state or Technical Committee (TC) discipline. PPC allocates some funding for a set number of CVD participants.

• AIAA is well-positioned to communicate matters of aerospace policy and critical technical issues in an objective and effective manner.

• AIAA’s newest grassroots program, August is for Aerospace (A4A) allows members to continue the discussions they started at CVD by encouraging interaction between members and elected officials during their August recess.

• A4A helps display the local impact of the aerospace sector on lawmaker’s communities, increasing the effectiveness of the messages delivered at CVD.

Page 77: AIAA Technical Activities Committee Director/Deputy Director Training Kathleen Atkins Director, Aerospace Design & Structures 3 January 2011.

Congressional Visits Day

• Each year, at least 150 AIAA members from across the United States travel to Washington, D.C. to educate Congress and the Administration on the importance of the aerospace industry to our country’s national and economic security.

• CVD provides aerospace engineers and scientists with an opportunity to offer their technical expertise to policymakers on a wide range of issue which are critically important to our nation.

• AIAA strongly believes that because of our long history as the principle aerospace professional society and its unique membership structure that the Institute is well positioned to converse with Congressional decision makers on the important issues facing our community.
