What's a Section? What's the Council?

The San Francisco Section has over 1,400 members located throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area, primarily in Silicon Valley. A dinner meeting featuring a timely speaker is held each month. The council meets regularly on the first Tuesday of the month.

Active participation in the local council provides members with outstanding opportunities to network with colleagues, enhance leadership skills, further their personal careers, and have a positive influence on the aerospace field.

A note about e-mail addresses: Due to the large increase in unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE), the "mailto" links have been removed for the e-mail addresses given below. You may copy-and-paste the address, but you will also need to remove the spaces around the commercial at-sign (@). This is to reduce the impact of automatic harvesting of e-mail addresses from web pages.
