Agenda 6 Durand Lecture • Durand Lectureship In Public ServiceThe Durand Lectureship, named in honor of William F. Durand, was approved by the Board of Directors in 1983. It is presented for notable achievements by a scientific or technical leader whose contributions have led directly to the understanding and application of the science and technology of aeronautics and astronautics for the betterment of mankind. The AIAA Public Policy Committee selects the lecturer and suggests a topic for the lecture, subject to the approval of the Honors and Awards Committee and Board of Directors. The lecture is presented at an appropriate AIAA conference. Nomination Deadline: 1 October
Agenda 6 2014 Durand Distinguished Lectureship in Public Service Award • 2013 Lecturer: Jack Dailey • Nominees needed for 2014 Award • PPC members should provide nominee suggestions to Steve Howell at steveh@aiaa.org • VP-Public Policy will ask TAC to provide nominees.
Agenda 7 Public Service Award • AIAA Public Service AwardThe Public Service Award honors an individual who is not an AIAA member but has shown consistent and visible support for national aviation and space goals. When judging nominations, the committee will look for a public figure who is widely known outside of the aerospace community and has a positive public image, a supporter of the aerospace industry who has shown consistent and visible support of national aeronautics and/or astronautics research and development and unhesitant willingness to be identified with aerospace programs/supporters, and a person who has no personal vested interest in advocacy. The recipient may be a member of non-employer related pro-aerospace organizations or may be an elected official.Nomination Deadline: 1 October
Agenda 7 2014 Public Service Award • 2013 Recipient: Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson • Nominees needed for 2014 Award • PPC members should provide nominee suggestions to Steve Howell at steveh@aiaa.org
Agenda 8 Why the New Event Model? • Our profession is evolving and AIAA must change with it • More emphasis in the industry on integrating systems and disciplines. AIAA must be in a position to support these growth areas. • Our membership numbers are in slow decline and we are not retaining membership in the young professional ranks. • Our conferences have evolved to more focused events that only attract a portion of the aerospace community. • Many in our profession, primarily those in industry (who make up nearly half our membership), do not find our current conference offerings relevant to their jobs.
Agenda 8 Goals in Pursuing New Event Model • Ensure our Institute is relevant to aerospace professionals (academia, government, industry) • 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
Agenda 8 New AIAA Forums Approved by BoD in May 2012 • AIAA Science and Technology Forum and Exposition (“SciTech”, Winter timeframe) • AIAA Defense and Security Forum and Exposition (“DEFENSE”, Winter timeframe) • AIAA Aviation and Aeronautics Forum and Exposition (“AVIATION”, Early Summer timeframe) • AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition (“Propulsion and Energy”, Mid Summer timeframe) • AIAA Space and Astronautics Forum and Exposition (“SPACE”, Late Summer timeframe)
Agenda 8 Program Structure for Forums • Three-Tiered Structure • Plenary – provides the aerospace professional insight into the opportunities and challenges that face the aerospace industry • Integration – provides the aerospace professional the ability to engage in cross-cutting topics and solutions to system level challenges • Discipline – provides the aerospace professional the opportunity to engage in technical exchange on focused topics of interest
Agenda 8 Program Structure: Plenary Tier • High-level keynote speakers and panel sessions focused on the integrating themes of the event that address critical issues facing the aerospace industry • Sessions will be at the “Forum” level, be identified by “Executive Steering Committee” for the event, and involve participation and input from other areas of the Institute (Corporate Membership, Education, International, Public Policy, Publications, Standards) • The target audience will be high level attendees from government, industry, and academia • Topics could include areas like policy, funding, education, standards, acquisition, etc. • These sessions should be open to all event attendees and have minimum overlap with other sessions
Agenda 8 Program Structure: Integration Tier • Sessions that explore multi-disciplinary topics and integration of systems and technologies • Sessions will be planned by “Forum Organizing Committee” with representatives across the Institute who are tasked with focusing on bringing together people from several disciplines and identifying topics of interest to broad spectrum of attendees • These topics will target those from academia, government, and industry that are interested in a more systems or operational focus • Sessions could involve panel discussions, lessons learned, best practices, case studies, tutorials, seminars, workshops • Joint sessions typical at current conferences when multiple committees have an interest in the same topic
Agenda 8 Program Structure: Discipline Tier • Discipline-focused topics typical of the current technical conferences that align within the framework of the overall forum themes • Technical sessions would be planned by the “Technical Program Committee”, addressing topics that are both consistent with overall forum themes and historical foundational technical areas • Little or no overlap in topics between individual technical disciplines
Agenda 8 Potential Audiences and Activities • Forums provide the opportunity to different kind of sessions/ activities to appeal to a variety of audiences
