Background:
|
As the aerospace
industry in Colorado continues to grow, CSBR is committed to
spreading knowledge of the industry's positive local impact,
highlighting opportunities for Colorado suppliers to get involved
and providing STEM opportunities for students and educators. It
spreads this message through frequent roundtable discussions with
Colorado stakeholders and road trips around the state.

This year's
Aug. 29 – Sept. 2 road trip will travel to Grand Junction,
Naturita, Durango and Montrose. Local partners include CLUB 20,
West End Economic Development Corporation, La Plata County Economic
Development Alliance and Montrose Economic Development Corporation.
There will be opportunities to meet with local businesses that are
interested in becoming a supplier or subcontractor to the larger
aerospace companies such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Sierra Nevada,
United Launch Alliance and many others.

The 2014 and 2015
road trips included programs all throughout Colorado and resulted
in the creation of the first-ever Colorado Aerospace Internship
Experience program for students. Outcomes of the road trips have
resulted in small businesses from around the state doing business
with each other.
