Aerospace Industries Association
Associate Membership
Associate membership within AIA is offered to small and medium-sized suppliers engaged in the production of aerospace systems. As an associate member, you have the right to participate in the activities of the Supplier Management Council. The SMC is a unique organization within AIA that is the only industry forum where suppliers can identify their unique issues and bring them to the attention of aerospace industry leaders, legislators, regulators, and decision makers.
