Congressional Visits Day

• Every year, AIAA members – engineers, scientists, researchers, students, educators, and technology executives – come to Washington, D.C., to take part in AIAA’s Congressional Visits Day program (CVD). They meet with national decision makers to discus critical industry issues in civil aeronautics, civil astronautics and defense.

• What’s the goal? Through face-to-face meetings with Members of Congress, congressional staff, key administration officials, and other decision makers, Congressional Visits Day raises awareness of the long-term value that science, engineering and technology bring to America.

• This year’s Congressional Visits Day is scheduled for March 15-16th. If you’re interested in participating as part of the Delaware Section team for CVD, please contact DE Section Chair Tim Dominick (410-392-1069 or timothy.dominick@atk.com).

WHEN DID YOU KNOW?

• When did you know you wanted to work in aerospace?– For some it was a specific moment, for others it was a gradual

realization that space and flight had captured their imagination and wouldn’t let go

• Over the next year, AIAA members will share what inspired them. We hope you enjoy reading them and that you will share your own “When Did You Know?” moment.
