For many in the aerospace industry the year 2020 has brought unimaginable business and economic uncertainty. What to expect in 2021 and beyond? Our goal at MAMA is to continue to be that source of needed information, contacts, and opportunity.
 
We continue to build relationships and working agreements with academia, industry partners and governmental entities so we can support our member’s needs. By staying active and aggressive on serving our members, we progressively become more relevant and stay focused on providing value.
 
There will be challenges to all of us in the aerospace sector for years to come, but one constant factor remains for success: being the source and point of “value”. For MAMA, it means we do many things to provide value, starting with listening and understanding your business needs and acting proactively on them.
 
You will find MAMA continuing to engage members in our meetings and conferences to help your business learn of new or changing industry requirements, introducing you to important key executives and government officials and yes, opportunities that are present in 2021.
 
We will not seek a comfortable, accept the fate of the times, and exist, but rather we will be more assertive in building value through doing more than we have in the past. Our membership grew in 2020 and will continue to grow with our focus on you, your needs and positioning ourselves as leaders in value.
