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. Key Issues for 2011: –Strategy for Recovery of Business and General Aviation –Harnessing Aerospace Experience and Capabilities for Achieving Modern Earth and Climate Information Systems and Services –Enabling Development of Alternative Fuels and Energy Efficient Aviation Systems –Overcoming the Emerging Technology Acquisition “Valley of Death” –Establishing and Implementing a Viable National Cybersecurity Strategy –Improved Air Cargo Security and Scanning –Address the Growing Threat of Orbital Debris –Assuring Strategic and Sustainable Direction for Space Policy –Increasing Emphasis and Funding for Technology and Engineering in STEM –Recruiting, Retaining, and Developing a World-Class Aerospace Workforce
