It spreads this message through frequent roundtable discussions with Colorado stakeholders and road trips around the state. This year's July 8 - 11 road trip will travel to Meeker, Rangeley, Grand Junction and Snowmass Village. Local partners include CLUB 20, AGNC, Delta Chamber and CO Public Radio. 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, 2015 and 2016 road trips included programs all throughout Colorado and resulted in the creation of the first-ever Colorado Aerospace Internship Experience program for students. Also, Lockheed Martin met one of their largest suppliers WREN on this road trip. Outcomes of the road trips have resulted in small businesses from around the state doing business with each other.
