ROCHESTER, Mich. — The Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan (AIAM) is surveying industry leaders throughout Michigan to inform AIAM’s new strategic plan and help shape the role that AIAM can play to support manufacturers and the State’s position in aerospace. The survey is open now through July 1, 2022, and can be found on the AIAM website at www.aiamnow.com or at https://www.research.net/r/MichiganAerospace.

The brief survey targets a broad range of respondents, including manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, designers, consultants, and information technology leaders. It will help AIAM to determine the current market status and identify significant opportunities for Michigan’s aerospace industry.

“This survey will help guide the future and focus of the aerospace industry in Michigan,” explained AIAM President Tony Vernaci. “Michigan is already a recognized leader in the aerospace sector — we want to make sure we’re prepared for the opportunities in the years ahead. Every point of view is valuable, whether you work in defense, commercial aerospace, general aviation, or space and satellites.”

The survey results will be available at the AeroOne Conference this fall in Grand Rapids.
