Keystone Space Collaborative was honored to participate in workforce-focused meetings at NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Headquarters as part of the National Space Council’s Workforce Coalition alongside representatives from leaders in Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas.

Our Program Director, Zoë Karabinus, participated in discussions with national leaders on workforce challenges, emerging trends, and scalable solutions for the aerospace industry. These conversations emphasized the importance of aligning state and regional efforts with national priorities to support the future of the space workforce.

We’re proud to represent the Tri-State region in these critical conversations and are grateful to the NASA STEM team for hosting us — and for the incredible tour of the Space Operations Center and Earth Information Center.

We look forward to the progress and collaboration that will emerge from this important work!
