  40. AFM TC Standing Strategic Plan Assignment • AFM Purpose Statement and organization in good alignment with the AIAA Strategic Plan • No need for restructuring or large changes • Continue to monitor ourselves as strategic plan and aerospace environment evolves • Our conferences are our main product! • There are some specific things that can be done to improve our performance relative to our purpose • Functional subcommittees have brainstormed and a number of specific actions have been generated • Need to incorporate and execute • There are some areas to continue to develop into specific actions Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  41. Education & Liaison Actions Strategic Plan Assignment • Professional Development • Survey community for what short courses are needed • Identify new instructors within TC • Develop cross-TC courses • Promote short courses better • Shorten duration of short courses to 1 day & possibly offer during conference • Provide textbook as part of course fee • “Best practices” special sessions • Offer self-study courses Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  42. Education & Liaison Actions Strategic Plan Assignment • Pre-college Outreach • Include K-12 educators as part of the TC • Better use of the website!!!! • Small projects for teachers, links to information • Our own wiki, perhaps? • “Science fair” ideas? • Find teachers who have integrated “aerospace” into the curriculum, and invite them to AFM conference for a workshop & recognize their acheivement • Issue: cost Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  43. Conferences Actions Strategic Plan Assignment • Increase attendance • Sweeten the pot for attendees to come • 25% of the conference should be invited sessions and workshops • Tech Chairs should build a number of sessions through his/her contacts • If you build a good technical program, the folks will come • Local Section Involvement • This should fall on the General Chair of a conference • EX: Toronto … plenary speaker … tour of local facilities • TC “experts” could hold a local workshop in conjunction with local section(s) in the area where the conference • Sunday afternoon or evening? • “Collaboration Space” • Website to plan the conferences • Who will host and support? • Perhaps identify a commercial application and request AIAA implement it Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC

  44. Challenge to TC Strategic Plan Assignment • On the right path – keep it going strong • Incorporate new actions into standard operations • Continue to develop new themes • Energy Efficiency • Environmental Impact Atmospheric Flight Mechanics TC
