8. AIAA YP Forum Experience • TAC Workshop in 2012 highlighted disturbing long-term trends in AIAA membership and conference attendance • Young professionals (YPs) comprise just 17% of AIAA membership • YPs are poorly retained • The AIAA YP Forum Experience is an initiative to engage YPs who have just entered the workforce in an enhanced and personalized conference experience that encourages a continued, long-term interaction with AIAA. • Proposal to achieve this involves three components: • One-time defraying of the cost to attend Forum attendance through reduced registration costs • Kickoff event • Pairing of the YP with a technical expert, who will help show the YP the ropes of AIAA and Forums • SATTC is in discussions with the YPC to move this idea forward.

9. TFPC Interaction • In Feb. 2013, the SATTC was contacted by Lynn Unrau(Cessna Aircraft), chair of the Transformational Flight Program Committee (TFPC) • TFPC is composed of professionals with an interest in advanced, transformational future aerospace concepts. • TFPC membership is aviation-centric • Major focus: How transformational concepts (e.g., point-to-point air transportation, personal air vehicles, autonomous airplanes) can bring future benefits to society. • TFPC had teleconference on Tuesday, March 19 • Sarah Arnac (SATTC/TFPC Liaison) attended.

10. BOD Elections, Award, and Fellow Nominations • Board of Directors Elections (Vote before April 8, 2013) • www.aiaa.org/BODvote • Typically only 15-20% of the members vote (only 4,500-6,000 members) • Offices: • President Elect • VP-Elect, Technical Activities • VP-Elect, Member Services • Director: at-Large, International, Information Systems Group, Propulsion and Energy Group, Region 4, Region 5, Region 7 • Award Nominations • https://www.aiaa.org/HonorsAndAwardsOpenNominations.aspx?id=5858 (deadlines are continuous) • Associate Fellow and Fellow Nominations • Associate Fellow: nominations due 4/15, references due 5/15 • Fellow: nominations due 6/15, references due 6/15

11. Project Updates • Aerospace Technology Impact Initiative (Justice) • ComicCon(Christian) • Aerospace Tech. Pocket Guide and Presentation (Grant, Restrepo)

12. Slide contributed by Steve Justice Aerospace Technology Impact Initiative • Vision – Quantify the societal impact of aerospace technology on the “general quality of life” and in particular, how AIAA members contribute to that improvement. • Goal - Gather information from the various groups within AIAA to generate “success stories” of aerospace technology impact with a focus on the contributions of the AIAA and its members. • Strategy – Create an award to help incentivize the membership to provide that information.

13. Slide contributed by John Christian AIAA SAT TC Booth at Pittsburgh ComicCon • The AIAA SAT TC will have a booth at the 2013 Pittsburgh ComicCon to be held 27-29 September 2013. • The SAT TC will work with AIAA to prepare booth materials this spring. We are also open to materials from TC members that are appropriate for distribution to a non-technical audience. • We hope to have the first draft of the Society & Aerospace Technology Pocket Guide available for distribution at the booth. • Anyone interested in attending the ComicCon to help run the booth should contact John Christian at john.christian@mail.wvu.edu.

14. AIAA SAT TC Booth at Pittsburgh ComicCon Volunteers Needed • Ops Team • 2 additional volunteers to man the booth with John • Swag Team • 1 volunteer to coordinate with AIAA staff to solicit giveaway swag from interested Corporate Members • 1 volunteer to solicit AIAA Committees (TCs, PCs, Public Policy and Education Standing Committees) for distributable products • 1-2 volunteers to obtain/coordinate NASA Spinoff books and NASA House/City interactive kiosk and/or giveaways • 1-2 volunteers to brainstorm and produce additional creative products
