Public Policy

AIAA leads the way on issue advocacy that impacts the Aerospace sector. The Institute delivers extensive technical expertise and policy guidance to decision makers at the federal and state levels, serving as a reliable resource on a full spectrum of aerospace issues

Congressional Visits Day

Every spring, AIAA members – engineers, scientists, researchers, students, educators, and technology executives – come to Washington, D.C. to take part in AIAA’s Congressional Visits Day. We meet with national decision makers to discuss critical industry issues in civil aeronautics, civil astronautics, and defense.

What’s our 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.

You can participate in this important mission. Later this year, we’ll post post a link to  register for Congressional Visits Day, so you don’t miss out on this vital opportunity to have your Congressional representative hear your voice.
