Aerospace Industry Committees
Aerospace Advisory Committee (AAC)
The AAC is comprised of top leaders in our regional aerospace companies and other interested area industry leaders. The AAC mission is to advance and grow the region’s role in all facets of the aviation and aerospace industries, including NASA JSC and human space exploration, through joint initiatives and focused advocacy. The AAC accomplishes this by connecting industry leaders to discuss activities in the aerospace community including political events, NASA contracts, future trends, etc. The committee occasionally invites speakers who have relevant information to impart to the group. AAC also supports the other aerospace committees at BAHEP via company participation and funding. Those include Team NASA, Space Center Volunteers, and Citizens for Space Exploration.
