Raise the Image of Aerospace in Washington 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 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. Make sure that you don’t miss out on this vital opportunity to have your Congressional representative hear your voice – register for CVD today! Planning for 2010 AIAA’s 13th Annual AIAA Congressional Visits Day will take place 16–17 March 2010. Preliminary briefings will take place on 16 March at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, in Washington, D.C, with the visits and the AIAA Congressional Reception taking place on 17 March on Capitol Hill. We expect the 2010 CVD to be the best yet, but to make that happen we need your enthusiastic participation. If you have any interest in science and technology policy, or in how your government works, this event is for you! Your elected officials only hear your voice if you actively engage them. Although discussing public policy with government officials may seem daunting at first, AIAA’s experienced public policy staff can show you exactly what to do. Attending CVD will give you all the tools you need to engage your representatives on issues of vital importance to yourself, the aerospace industry, and our nation. Registration for this year’s Congressional Visits Day has begun. Please visit our registration page to sign up for this exciting grassroots event, and have your voice heard on Capitol Hill. If you have any questions about CVD, are looking for materials for this year’s event, or need help in finding lodging, please contact Duane Hyland at 703.264.7558 or duaneh@aiaa.org. (There is no reserved block of hotel rooms for CVD this year.) There are also opportunities for members to become team captains and help coordinate the activities of their state delegations. If you are interested in becoming a team captain, or in assisting an existing team captain for your state, please let us know! CVD: 16–17 March 2010 – Make Your Voice Heard! |
