1 Aerospace Sciences Group Status TAC Report
Jim Keenan, ASG Director-Technical Thursday, January 10th, 2013

2 Conference Attendance by Government Personnel NEM Alignment
Overview Conference Attendance by Government Personnel NEM Alignment Sci-Tech 2014 Aviation & Aeronautics 2014 ASM 2013

3 Conference Attendance
A quick review… Excessive cost at Government sponsored conferences Punishment for the many General Services Administration Conference GSA Las Vegas conference was $840K and paid for by the US taxpayers Veterans Affairs Conference Wasteful spending on Patton parody (see figure) 2 conference price tag of $5 Million

4 Conference Attendance
Fall-out New scrutiny for government employee attendance at non-government conferences A new DoD policy was due by January The policy will likely be “added to” by individual government agency DoD employees may (will?) have difficulty attending conferences in the near future. Reduced level of government attendance at ASM very likely No US Army employees were known to be granted approval to attend ASM 2013. Last minute (1/2/13) approval for USAF attendees at ASM 2013. Last minute approval for NASA personnel to attend ASM 2013 This was on top of an already stated goal to reduce DoD travel costs by 30% as compared to FY2010 travel

5 AIAA Topic: Conference Attendance
Path forward Unknown at this time Level of participation of government employees at future conferences is uncertain New policy updates are expected Update from AIAA staff Multiple letters sent to Congress AIAA Public Policy Committee actively working on Capitol Hill Other professional societies are also impacted Canceled annual meetings: American Astronautical Society, AWS Canceled AHS Hampton Roads Chapter HELMOT meeting in October Consolidation of meetings for reduced travel

6 Conference Attendance
AIAA Effort Letter from AIAA to Speaker John Boehner and additional members of Congress Signed by AIAA President Mike Griffin Signed by AIAA Executive Director Sandra Magnus Aerospace Professional Community Joint signed letter to relevant Senators and House of Representative members Signed by AIAA, AAS, AGU, AHS, AMS, AIA, CSF, NSS, SIA, SSPI, Space Foundation, STA, Space Enterprise Council, USRA

31 ASG Topic: TC Annual Reports
TC Chairs are responsible for generating an annual report See document “TAC_F_Annual Report Template with PC Mods_V02” Due to ASG Director by end of January Director of ASG develops an annual report to TAC based on these reports.

32 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…

33 Web Pages… TAC web site ASG web site TC Topic: Web Pages
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

34 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

35 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.

36 ASG Director is given annual funding
ASG Topic: TC Funds ASG Director is given annual funding Total for FY13 is $4600 Down from FY12 of $5800 ASG left around 50% of our funds on the table in FY12 Left-over funds are rolled into the general AIAA fund Need good, creative ideas (with technical content) from TCs so we can utilize the funds for what they were intended. VP TAC is very receptive to Student Paper Award Proposals Recent approved items TC Polo shirts (TAC paid ½) Student recognition (e.g. Student Paper Award Fee) Still Time for FY13 Fiscal Year ends 30 September No requests to date
