Museum Days and CVD

Good Afternoon!

The month of March means one thing for AIAA: Congressional Visit Day in Washington D.C.!

If you're in the South Bay, come to Hiller Aviation Museum on Saturday, March 9 to learn about AIAA's Key Issues 2013.

If you're in the East Bay, we will be at the Oakland Aviation Museum the next day, Sunday, March 10.

And remember that Congressional Visit Day is March 19-20.

What is Congressional Visit Day?: It is an annual event held in Washington D.C. that gives AIAA members the opportunity to engage with congress members to discuss industry issues. These issues are in the form of the Key Issues.

If you are interested in participating in any of these events please contact Jose Ramil Seneris at JRSeneris@gmail.com or pubpol@aiaa-sf.org.

  1. Just a reminder on where the AIAA 2013 Key Issues are: https://www.aiaa.org/KeyIssues2013/

    It would have been nice if that page put up a summary of issues at the top. But they didn't; so here's my list of the topic titles:

    * Promote and incentivize public-private partnerships that improve technology transition to end users from the nation's aerospace research laboratories.

    * Enabling sustained deep space exploration with a broad vision.

    * Complete public/private human Earth-orbit access programs in a timely manner.

    * Recruiting, retaining, and developing a world-clas aerospace workforce.

    * Building our competitive foundation: supporting K-12 STEM Education.

    * Assuring the viability of the US aerospace and defense industrial base.

    * Lessening the impact of export controls on the domestic aerospace industry.

    * Accelerating the integration of UAV/UAS into the national air space (NAS)

    * Why a robust and integrated cybersecurity policy is one of our top national security priorities.

    * Ensure the continuing stimulation of advancements in the nation's science and technology portfolio by removing restrictions on the federal science & technology professional workforce to participate in technical conferences.
