Aerospace Industries AssociationEric Fanning
Eric Fanning was the 22nd Secretary of the Army under President Barack Obama from May 18, 2016, until January 20, 2017. After the end of the Obama administration, Fanning became president and chief executive officer of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), a trade association representing defense contractors and manufacturers, less than a year after leaving the Pentagon. AIA’s members include nine of the top 10 recipients of Pentagon spending in fiscal year 2019, and the group has advocated for 5% annual defense budget growth.
Prior to serving as Secretary of the Army, Fanning held senior positions with three major military branches, and in the office of the Secretary of Defense. He is the only person to have held all of these senior appointments over the course of a career, according to AIA. In a September 2017 press release on his imminent appointment, AIA stated that “Fanning is well known in Washington, D.C., and to AIA member companies for his ability to deliver results at the strategic level.”

AIA’s members include nine of the top 10 recipients of Pentagon spending in fiscal year 2019, and the group has advocated for 5% annual defense budget growth.
