Delegates Conference Information
Over the last several years, the AEA has engaged in discussions with members and nonmembers on the need for advocacy in the delegate/aircraft certification areas. The AEA’s goal is to provide a voice for delegates and those who want to be delegates with the added focus on engineering and aircraft certification. Regardless of your background or specialty, the AEA is setting up to be an advocate to all individuals and companies engaged in this area.
