Aerospace Industry Now Supported By South Bay Alliance

REDONDO BEACH, CA – The South Bay Association of Chambers of Commerce (SBACC) has approved a new organization to support the regional aerospace industry. The South Bay Aerospace Industry Alliance is a non-partisan community-based coalition which supports the interests of the local aerospace industry, according to the press release, including the Los Angeles Air Force Base and the Space and Missile Systems Center in El Segundo.

The Alliance is composed of elected officials from local chambers of commerce, military veterans, business and industry representatives, non-profit organizations, among others.

“After over two years of planning, the Alliance is now a reality,” Michael Jackson, who has spearheaded this effort for the SBACC, said in a press release. “The aerospace industry has been the foundation of our South Bay community for over 60 years since the first military and defense programs were created. The Alliance will serve to engage our community year-round on aerospace issues affecting jobs and the local economy.”

The Alliance is open to the participation of individuals and organizations who believe the local airspace industry's presence in Southern California is essential to the South Bay economy, the press release said.
