Advancements Toward Achieving Bonded Structural Applications - An Expert Panel Discussion
Moderator: Kay Youngdahl Blohowiak, The Boeing Company, Senior Technical Fellow
Advanced Materials are critical to the United States economy and to national defense. As such, SAMPE North America’s Public Policy Committee has invited key decision makers from across the spectrum of the Government to participate in a panel discussion. Representatives from the Executive Branch (OSTP), Congressional Committees, and Federal Agency program managers will discuss the process by which policies supporting advanced materials research and development are created and associated legislation enacted. The process culminates with the execution of specific advanced materials related programs at federal agencies.
