The Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) recently honored Chris Kubasik, L3Harris chair and chief executive officer, with its Voice of Industry Award, which recognizes AIA advocates who utilize their platforms to support the aerospace and defense industrial base, workforce, and supply chain.
“Chris has been a strong and steady leader for our industry and for the Aerospace Industries Association,” said AIA president and CEO Eric Fanning. “Few are as dedicated to our nation’s security and the industrial base that underpins it as he is. As our chair last year, Chris was always generous with his time and perspective — whether engaging across the ecosystem or stopping by our office to share his insights and help guide our work. It’s that kind of leadership that makes him an asset for our industry and so deserving of AIA’s Voice of Industry Award.”
