Trophy to Be Granted for Work in Supporting Aviation Supply Chain
Senator Jerry Moran will be given the 2023 Wichita Aero Club Trophy in recognition of both his contemporaneous accomplishments as well as a lifetime of achievement.
The group will celebrate the Senator in a gala to be held next February. In nominating him for the trophy, the WAC wrote:
"Senator Moran has transformed our regional aerospace community through his tireless championing of Wichita’s assets on global stages. His efforts help us leverage our tradition and prepare us to lead the world in the future of aerospace."
"Senator Moran works tirelessly on behalf of the Wichita region’s aviation industry. He has increased opportunities for our local suppliers by hosting industry leaders such as Blue Origin, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX, and Lockheed Martin Space. He continues to support our community’s successful attempts to secure large federal grants and has brought key members of the Federal Cabinet to Wichita, including the Secretary of Commerce, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the NASA Administrator, the Secretary of the Air Force, and many more."
"Senator Moran is a champion for aerospace, for Wichita, and for all of Kansas. His tireless efforts will impact generations, helping Wichita to remain now and forever, the Air Capital of the World."
“Senator Moran has been a leading advocate for our region’s aviation supply chain not only nationally, but on a global scale – making him an excellent selection for the Wichita Aero Club Trophy,” said Ashley Bowen Cook, WAC Board and Trophy Committee Chair.
