Bold AFA placements throughout the USA Today website! An opening letter to teachers from Sandy Schlitt, Vice Chairman of the Board, Aerospace Education! These are just a few attention grabbers on the new Visions Newsletter website, a product of our partnership with USA Today.

Other areas include a link to AFA field chapter contacts, the ability for educators and students to view additional articles on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) careers, issues, and up-to-date information on cyber security. A Forum section allows educators to share best practices, increasing Visions and STEM effectiveness. Over 250,000 middle and high school students in 1,000 classrooms can utilize the tools.

New website innovations were a direct result of the AFA Aerospace Education workshop last September. Concern was raised that the only recognition AFA received was a sticker on the newspapers. Mary Anne Thompson, former AE Chairperson, and Sandy Schlitt worked with USA Today to develop a plan. Due to the persistence of Thompson, the website now reflects the close partnership with USA Today. Kudos and thanks to Mary Anne Thompson!
