Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO Appointed to AIA Executive Committee
December 03 2018 - 1:22PM
The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), the leading U.S.
aerospace and defense trade association, has appointed Aerojet
Rocketdyne CEO and President Eileen Drake to its Executive
Committee for 2019. Ms. Drake was named during AIA’s Nov. 30
Board of Governors Meeting.
AIA is the most authoritative and influential trade association
representing the U.S. aerospace and defense industry. As the voice
of American aerospace and defense, AIA’s strong advocacy is
essential to protecting and advancing the interests of our nation
and our industry.
“AIA remains the premiere voice for our nation’s aerospace and
defense industries, at a moment of historic opportunity,” said Ms.
Drake. “I am deeply honored to be selected to serve on AIA’s
Executive Committee and look forward to working closely with AIA’s
leadership team to foster growth and innovation in the U.S.
aerospace and defense sector.”
Today, nearly 340 major aerospace and defense companies and
their suppliers are members of the association, embodying every
high-technology manufacturing segment of the U.S. aerospace and
defense industry, including commercial aviation and avionics,
manned and unmanned defense systems, and space technologies and
satellite communications.
“We’re pleased to welcome Eileen Drake to our Executive
Committee. Eileen is a dynamic leader, and we look forward to her
insight and contributions in advancing our ambitious agenda for
2019,” said AIA President and CEO Eric Fanning.
AIA is led by a Board of Governors and an Executive Committee. A
hallmark of AIA is that it receives its policy guidance from the
direct involvement of CEO-level officers of member companies. The
government frequently seeks advice from AIA on issues, and AIA
provides a forum for government and industry representatives to
exchange views and resolve problems on non-competitive matters
related to aerospace and defense.
“AIA will move into 2019 with strong leadership, an ambitious
advocacy agenda, and creative new initiatives,” said Mr. Fanning.
“We look forward to using our 100th anniversary to energize AIA’s
advocacy and share our industry’s vision of the innovative and
life-changing advancements to come.”
Ms. Drake joins 24 leaders of aerospace companies on the 2019
Executive Committee, who will drive association policy guidance on
matters impacting the aerospace and defense industry, to include
the federal budget, a healthy industrial base, defense
modernization, and an efficient federal acquisition system.
Ms. Drake also serves on the AIA Board of Governors and Finance
Committee and the Woodward, Inc. Board of Directors, where she is a
member of the Audit Committee.
