Lt. Gov. Austin Davis joined representatives from the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry and Keystone Space Collaborative, as well as students from Spring Grove Area High School's rocketry team, to kick off the first-ever Aerospace Day at the Capitol to highlight the opportunities in the aerospace and aviation industries in Pennsylvania."While Florida and Texas may get all of the attention for having big NASA centers, it's important for young people in Pennsylvania to know that they can pursue their aerospace dreams right here in the Commonwealth," saidDavis. "That's why we're so excited to host Aerospace Day at the Capitol with Spring Grove Area High School's rocketry team. We're thrilled to show off what they can do, and we're encouraging other young people, especially young women, to check out STEM careers."Davis serves as chair of the Pennsylvania chapter of the Aerospace States Association (ASA), which is an organization of state lieutenant governors, governor appointed delegates, state legislators, territorial and tribal government representatives and associate members from aerospace businesses, organizations and academia. ASA brings together aviation and aerospace interests across each state to educate state legislators on issues specific to their state and provide networking opportunities to grow jobs and expand economic development.Speakers in Order:Lt.
