Goal is to begin implementation in January 2014
One more check to make sure the ASG TCs are aligned with the TCs that they want

5. AIAA Topic: New Event Model
AIAA Staff is studying hotels/conference centers for size
Previously selected ASM hotels are planned for ASTF
Initial talks with SDM have taken place for 2014
Rolling out some features prior to 2014

Aviation 2013
Forum Dates need clarification
ASTF Winter => January
ADSF Winter/Spring => January/February
AAAF Early Summer => Late June?

9. TAC Topic: 2013 TAC Workshop
January 2013 ASM TAC Workshop is to focus on AIAA & Social Media Sites.
(or something along those lines)
TC Chairs & Vice Chairs are expected to participate
Possible titles of Workshop
eAIAA
eConferencing (AIAA Forum concept with purely online sessions)
eMobility
Goal is to insert social technology into AIAA models
Conferences
TC/PC meetings
Workshops
Education (Continuing & STEM)
Public Policy
What tools exist? (e.g. Skype, WebEx, Facebook, YouTube, other)
What are the limitations? (e.g. Cost, access, number of participants, international vs. US)
Who to engage? (e.g. YPs, Education, Publications, AIAA IT staff)

10. TAC Topic: 2013 TAC Workshop
Possible workshop approach
Hour 1
Pick a topic (e.g. Workshop or Continuing Education)
How will the various Social Media tools be used for AIAA?
Hour 2
Pick a tool (e.g. WebEx)
How will the tool be used for various AIAA endeavors?
Find a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to discuss how online & apps are used in business.
New Initiatives Subcommittee (NIS) is responsible organizer
Related question… Does AIAA have a You Tube channel?
True or False

11. Answer is True.
AIAA You Tube Channel

14. ASG Topic: TC Funds
ASG is still leaving around 50% of our funds on the table each year ($5800/Year Total for ASG; Remaining $2700)
VP TAC is very receptive to Student Paper Award Proposals
Need good, creative ideas (with technical content) from TCs so we can utilize the funds for what they were intended.
Recent approved items
TC Polo shirts (TAC paid ½)
Student recognition (e.g. Student Paper Award Fee)
Still Time for FY12: Fiscal Year ends 30 September

15. TC Topic: Health Assessment
How healthy is your TC?
TC/PC Self Assessment
Search for the file “TAC_F_Committee Self Assessment_V02”
This is a good tool for seeing how your TC is doing
Major items
Does your TC have a Charter?
Does your TC have a written manual or reference document?
A written process is needed if you select an award (e.g. best student paper, Aerodynamics or Thermophysics award).
How do members and others know what your TC is doing?
Web Pages…

16. TC Topic: Web Pages Web Pages… TAC web site ASG web site
Each TC needs a web master and a back-up/helper
Great location to share information (e.g. minutes, charter, award process, photos)
This is your face to the outside world for new AIAA & TC members
Most ASG TC web pages are stale, forgotten orphans
TAC web site
Provides numerous documents (e.g. Chair manual, Self-Assessment)
ASG web site
Has links to the various TCs
Needs improvement

17. TC Topic: General Reminders
Chair-Elect
For new chairs, TCs need to select a vice-chair in a timely fashion
There are two accepted practices for chair-elect timelines (see TAC_P_Chairs Manual_V01)
TC Chair position is for 2 years
Member Responsibilities
Maintain current AIAA Membership (must be an AIAA member)
Recruit new TC members
Submit names for AIAA awards
Submit names for AIAA elected offices
Propose membership upgrades
Propose session papers for AIAA journals

18. TC Topic: General Reminders
Technical Committee size
Maximum of 50 members
35 US Members
International members
Associate members 34 years old or younger (non-voting)
Alumni members (non-voting)
Must get approval of ASG Director or Dep. Director to extend TC member beyond 3 year term
Cost to AIAA when TC meeting attendance goes up
Dinner cost
Audio Visual (AV) and speaker system
Reason for limitation on number of “visitors” to TC meetings.
