Virginia General Assembly

Aviation & Aerospace Caucus

The VGAAC is focused on legislation that supports the aviation and aerospace industries in Virginia. The caucus promotes workforce and other initiatives to ensure the Commonwealth remains business-friendly to the aviation and aerospace sectors.

 

The VGAAC serves as a more formalized opportunity for the members of the House and Senate to learn about aviation and aerospace and explore opportunities for growth.

​

All members of the legislator are technically members of the caucus.

Unfortunately not all members can attend every meeting held by the caucus.

To date caucus participants include:

Del. Bonita Anthony

The VGAAC meets weekly on Thursdays at 8 AM during the Legislative Session in the new General Assembly Building, Room 600-A.
