National Forensic League (NFL)

• AIAA Partnership with The National Forensic League (NFL)

• AIAA is partnering with the policy debate division of The National Forensic League, the national governing body for debate and speech events in the United States. The policy debate division will debate:

• Resolved: The United States federal government should substantially increase its exploration and/or development of space beyond the Earth’s mesosphere.

• The debates began in September and conclude at the national championships in June 2012.

• This partnership offers the AIAA the opportunity to guide over 35,000 debaters for a year on the future of space policy and exploration doesn’t come around often – this is the second time in 50 years that the topic has been debated.

• AIAA feels that this is great opportunity to reach a different audience and ENGAGE our corporate and policy committees throughout the year.
