3. Goals for ETM Group Each TC should conduct activities that keep the TC vibrant and provide value to their members. Each TC should provide a product or set of products (ie conferences, forums, awards, etc) that provides benefits to the members of the Institute. The focus of the group will be to develop and sustain quality TCs, not quantity. Helping TC to develop Young Professionals as our future leaders Working with organizers of Inside Aerospace and New Horizons Forum to see if the TCs in ETM can help with organization of those events. 3
