ST. LOUIS, April 18, 2017 -- LMI Aerospace Inc. (Nasdaq:LMIA) has received a Boeing Excellence in Advocacy Award for 2016. The Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognize suppliers who have achieved superior performance in outreach activities to help government policymakers better understand aerospace issues and promote legislation that supports aerospace companies.

The influence of suppliers by engaging with policy makers can foster awareness that provides multiple benefits.
