Description

This workshop will explore how state policymakers and agency officials can help to foster a positive regulatory environment for advanced aviation, and provide an open forum for sharing success stories and addressing legal and policy issues.  In this workshop, you will hear from the AUVSI state advocacy team about state-level legislative and regulatory trends.  The workshop will also feature a presentation by the AAM Multistate Collaborative, a coalition of state aviation and aerospace officials focused on developing and harmonizing policies to enable public infrastructure and services for advanced air mobility. 

Finally, the workshop will offer opportunity for discussion, collaboration, and engagement, where industry advocates and state officials will be able to discuss their successes, challenges, and opportunities in helping to usher in a new era of aviation.
