On November 13th, the Space Enterprise Council hosted the Brazilian Minister of Defense, the Brazilian Ambassador to the United States, key members from the Brazilian Congress, and ten flag officers for a discussion on US-Brazil Space Cooperation.  Heading the US delegation was Elizabeth Hyman, Executive Vice President, CompTIA, David Logsdon, Senior Director, Federal Advocacy (and head of the Space Enterprise Council), and Space Enterprise Council Chair Matt Jones (Boeing).  The Minister’s presentation can be found here.  The Brazilian delegation list can be found here.
