Board Members

The Virginia Air and Space Science Center owes its success and direction to the Board Members that help guide it.  We work with an excellent cadre of Members that bring various perspectives and work experiences to our Board, helping us grow in the best way possible to serve the community and our mission. Through their guidance and direction, we can innovate, create, install, and present the work being done in our facility and through our outreach programming.
