  • Invite speakers with expertise in our profession for occasional lunch-and-learns and dinner meetings.
  • Support our section's annual technical symposium.

Events
The 1940 Air Terminal Building at Hobby Airport was selected as a national AIAA Historic Aerospace Site in Janaury 2008, thanks to work by the museum volunteers and members of AIAA Houston Section. Emily Springer will travel to Houston for a ceremony at the museum to award a large, bronze plaque. A similar plaque is on display honoring Johnson Space Center in the same way. That plaque is on a granite base donated by NASA. It stands outdoors between the Saturn V building and the main gate.
