A Message from Your New Vice Chair for Education
October 30, 2024 | By Gary Copsey
Dear AFA Members,
I’m honored to now serve as your AFA Vice Chair for Education! I’ve served on both the Field Council and the Education Council for several years and know the kind of great work being done by both. The aim of the Aerospace Education Council is to provide excellent programs that are executed in the Field, and to promote aerospace and STEM education for a technically superior and professional workforce to ensure national security. That is right out of the vision statement for AFA, and that is where the Education Council fits.
My goal is to continue the superb work that has been done to date, explore new possibilities to keep up with technology and to ensure that we have the resources to execute these programs. It is truly a team effort, and we have exceptional volunteers on the team, as well as an outstanding professional staff that supports us. I look forward to the next three years!
Gary L. Copsey
