Peggy Cornell NASA Glenn Research Center

During my first term, I focused on strengthening our regional leadership structure, including identifying gaps in the Deputy Director team and successfully filling vacancies to ensure more complete representation across the region. I also supported efforts to rebuild and strengthen several section leadership committees.

If re-elected, I will continue working to mature our sections and draw upon my NASA, military, and AIAA leadership experience to help advance our collective impact within the aerospace community. I remain committed to strengthening AIAA collaboration through active member participation and will continue to lead by example through sustained involvement in IOCs, TCs, and READ initiatives.

My vision for Region III is centered on supporting and empowering our grassroots membership. My priorities include further engaging students, promoting STEM outreach, supporting membership growth and recognition, and working with regional leadership to continue enhancing the value and impact of our region’s contributions to AIAA.
