“As National Chair of the Aerospace States Association (ASA), I was pleased to host the 2025 Annual Meeting in Virginia Beach, the largest in ASA’s history, and to highlight how Virginia is leading the way in advancing the aerospace and aviation industries,” said Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. “Fellow lieutenant governors, lawmakers, and stakeholders joined us for a week-long policy conference. Attendees heard from national and state experts, toured Virginia’s space and military facilities, and experienced firsthand the innovation driving this vital national security sector. The involvement of lieutenant governors in ASA is essential because we help bridge state and federal priorities, promote economic growth, and ensure our states remain competitive in the aerospace and aviation industries.”


"Since joining ASA, I have witnessed dynamic growth and expansion within our organization and throughout the industry as a whole."




"As leaders in our state governments, ASA members not only impact policy at the state level, but also at the federal level, by informing our congressional delegations on aerospace priorities."


"ASA represents the grass roots of American aerospace."

"When it comes to U.S. leadership in space, it is not just federal policy, but state policies that help keep us going. States are involved in infrastructure investment, states are incredibly involved in STEM education and incredibly involved in stimulating innovation and building jobs."

"Aerospace is a vital part of our national identity. It has helped define us as a nation and has underscored America’s initiative, ingenuity and fortitude. The Aerospace States Association is proud of its unique roll in ensuring this critical industry remains vital and relevant in the coming decades."
