Your Advocate for Unmanned Systems in the Northwest. The Cascade Chapter is one of the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) and represents the states of Oregon and Washington. Established in 2009, the chapter has rapidly grown as additional Unmanned Systems professionals learn about the many benefits of membership and now has over 400 members from industry, government and academia. Twice “National Chapter of the Year,” the Cascade Chapter has been nationally recognized as a leader in supporting the objectives of AUVSI and serves its members through industry advocacy, community connections, and education initiatives such as our two regional conferences, networking events around the region and numerous STEM initiatives. CHAPTER EVENTS - The Cascade Chapter hosts two major events each year, one in Oregon in the Fall, and the other in Washington in the Spring. Additional networking or co-hosted events round out our calendar of opportunities for our members to participate with an ever-increasing cluster of industry stakeholders.
