What is the LAA?
The Langley Alumni Association (LAA) is a Virginia non-stock corporation and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. Further information is provided in the LAA by-laws, the LAA brochure, our 2024 annual report, and the video below.
Why should I join?
LAA members can retain relationships with other members and with current NASA LaRC employees and contractors. We have monthly meetings with either speakers of interest to our members or activities such as our annual summer picnic and winter luncheon. Other activities and events are scheduled throughout the year. Visit our Events page for information about upcoming and past events.
The LAA works closely with LaRC and participates in STEM and outreach activities to benefit students from elementary school through college and the local community. The LAA recognizes notable contributions with enduring impacts to aerospace science.
Who can join?
Membership in the LAA is open to:
- All former NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC), NACA Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (LMAL), U. S. Army civil service, and contractor employees who have either retired or left employment at LaRC in good standing.
- Former employees of other NASA centers or NASA Headquarters.
- Current NASA or U. S. Army civil service and contractor employees of the Langley Research Center who are eligible to retire.
- The surviving spouse of an individual who qualified for membership.
How much are membership dues?
Membership is free for the calendar year you join. After that, annual dues are only $10 per year, due in January, or $100 for a lifetime membership.
How do I get access to the Center?
Six-month Activity Badges may be issued to LAA members in good standing who require regular physical access to LaRC to participate in LAA functions. This is a privilege for active LAA members. For members who only require occasional access, please request a one-day visitor’s badge from membership@larcalumni.org. Refer to the LAA badge policy for details.
