The Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan (AIAM) invites you to Legislative Day, a pivotal event where aerospace professionals and policymakers unite to shape Michigan’s aerospace future. This event is designed to strengthen your voice and support meaningful dialogue between industry and government leaders. 

Legislative Day is not a political event. It’s an opportunity for AIAM members to share real-world perspectives as lawmakers work on a 2026 supplemental budget (an update to the current state budget) and begin discussions on the 2027 state budget. 

During Legislative Day, AIAM will advocate for: 

• Renewed funding in the supplemental budget for AeroOne 2026, Michigan’s premier aerospace conference.
• Continued funding in the 2027 budget for AeroOne and initiatives to expand Michigan’s aerospace talent pipeline, ensuring the industry remains competitive, innovative, and positioned for long-term growth. 

Please note that this is a members-only event. If you are not currently a member, you may participate by becoming a member of AIAM. Membership offers access to exclusive events, advocacy initiatives, and a strong network of industry professionals. Contact Aaron Johnson at Aaronj@aiamnow.com for membership information.

Advocacy Works! 

AIAM engagement has helped deliver real outcomes: 

• Member advocacy helped secure support from the Lieutenant Governor for Michigan’s presence at the 2024 Farnborough Air Show, boosting global visibility. 
• After years of effort, Michigan’s R&D Tax Credit was signed into law, opening the door to future aerospace-specific incentives. 
• With new legislators entering office due to term limits, Legislative Day helps ensure aerospace remains top of mind.
