SAT TC in Context

The Role of a TC (from AIAA Website) AIAA Technical Committees (TCs) bring together experts in their fields and given them the opportunity to exchange knowledge and get to know their colleagues from around the globe. These committees participate in numerous activities: they develop and administer over 20 technical conferences each year; conduct professional development courses, produce books, and work with K-12 students to promote an interest in engineering education. And that’s just the start. The TCs also honor technical leadership through Technical and Best Paper awards; serve as journal and book reviewers; formulate technology assessment packages for the non-technical public, and even develop and judge college student design contests.

Impacts to AIAA •  Ended 2012(471K) and 2013(2.2M) with a negative operating

balance §  Budgeted 2013 anticipating negative operating balance (500K)

•  Major Factors (see following charts): §  overall 25% decrease (average) in conference attendance in

2013 §  Cancellation/delay of vended events

•  Mandated a balanced budget for 2014 §  Used new reporting structure §  Constructed Forum budgets as “projects” incorporating all

relevant Institute activities §  Overall budget cuts of $1.1M had to be identified

Guiding principles for AIAA forums •  Ensure our Institute is relevant to aerospace professionals •  Ensure our conferences integrate a spectrum of topics of

interest to the profession (technical disciplines, systems, policy, operations, etc.) and other areas of the Institute

•  Ensure our overall events provide meaningful professional

development and interaction opportunities to the broad aerospace community (conference papers/presentations, networking, education, exhibits, etc.)

•  Ensure our events are financially viable (both for the attendee and for the Institute)

•  Ensure that our conferences are “must attend” events for all those in our profession and can accommodate expansion into new technology and program areas

36

What do we want to accomplish with the Integration Tier?

•  Expand the products that AIAA offers at its events to a broader swath of aerospace professionals than the R&D community, to whom it has most appealed historically

•  Entice design engineers, analysts, systems engineers, etc.,

to join AIAA, or to become active if already a member, by offering compelling and topical subject matter, speakers and presenters

•  Bridge gap between plenary and technical sessions and offer

relevant and instructive topics and materials to the great number of aerospace professionals who may not think of, or see, AIAA as offering much to them in terms of professional career development, training, or networking

37

What is the “Integration Layer” anyway? Content:

Operational topics System integration Technical program management topics Cross-disciplinary topics Emerging Technologies Test, Verification, Reliability, Safety, Quality issues Policy and regulation topics Workforce and professional development issues Supply chain discussions Topics related to the intersection of government/industry/academia

38

What is the Integration Tier anyway? •  Format

§  Not envisioned as traditional technical paper sessions but as sessions to allow dialogue and provide information that participants can apply at work

§  Includes various format types including but not

limited to: – Panel discussions focused on lessons learned,

best practices, and case studies – Tutorials, seminars, workshops – Joint sessions typical at current conferences

when multiple committees have an interest in the same topic

39

How to build a strong Integration Layer •  Must be a combination of member and staff efforts •  Technical Group Directors have the big picture about their areas and

can help identify topics •  Program committees have insight into relevant topics in their area •  Corporate members have insight into industry issues •  Emerging Technology Committee can help identify new trends in

technology •  Staff has insight into industry wide trends and movements •  Students/Professors have insight into academic/education topics

40

Outcomes of a well executed Integration Layer

•  Creation of new technical communities in AIAA •  Creation of new program communities in AIAA •  AIAA recognized as being on the forefront of industry issues •  AIAA provides valuable workforce/professional development information

to members/attendees •  AIAA viewed as relevant- attracting more members •  We all go home from AIAA forums a bit more informed about a wider

variety of topics

Next Steps
