Together , we must continue to ignite passion and curiosity among young people to help students envision themselves as future innovators in our cutting-edge industry .
Looking ahead , AFA ’ s vision is clear : to solidify Washington State ’ s role as a global leader in aerospace innovation . Achieving this goal requires a united industry voice , active participation from member companies , and ongoing engagement with policymakers .
AFA encourages all aerospace businesses to get involved — whether by participating in Aerospace on the Hill Day , joining advocacy efforts , or supporting educational outreach . Every company , regardless of size , has a role to play in shaping the future of aerospace in Washington . This year , we celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Washington State Space Coalition ( WSSC ), a key part of AFA . WSSC ’ s contributions and investments in advanced technology will continue to lead Washington for future generations .
Together , through connection , advocacy , and a shared commitment to excellence , AFA and its members are building a stronger , more innovative aerospace and space industry . This effort not only benefits individual companies but also strengthens the entire state , ensuring a prosperous future for Washington ’ s economy and communities .
