Statement by AIA President and CEO Marion Blakey on NASA Leadership Nominations

May 26, 2009

AIA is pleased with President Obama’s nominations of retired General Charles Bolden as NASA administrator and Lori Garver as deputy administrator. These nominations reflect the President's commitment to ensuring a sound U.S. space program. 

Together, Bolden and Garver's leadership, experience and vision will guide NASA at a very important time when decisions about the future of America’s space leadership will be made on several fronts. From fully supporting Constellation to utilizing the International Space Station and supporting both robust NASA science and aeronautics programs, AIA and its members are looking forward to working with the new NASA team.
