PERSEVERING THROUGH PARTNERSHIP :

AFA WELCOMES NEW MEMBERS

With 2020 officially behind us , AFA is grateful for the partners that helped us — and thousands of aerospace employees in Washington State — get through the year . As the only aerospace association in Washington advocating for industry supportive policy , AFA exhausted itself fighting for the local and national resources that are helping aerospace companies survive the pandemic .
