AGENDA 6C

Topics

• Upcoming 2014 State Events and Coverage Plans

• Effects of Recent Staffing and Volunteer Participation Changes

• Future SA WG Plans• Guidelines for Future State Event Support

Planning (carried over from the January PPC meeting presentation)

AGENDA 6C

Upcoming 2014 State Events and Coverage Plans

• Georgia: 2/4 Steve Justice is local AIAA lead and Phil Hattis will attend

• Virginia: 2/5 Steve Howell will attend and serve as local AIAA lead (he is a Virginia resident)

• Florida: 3/12 No national AIAA leadership attendance since it conflicts with CVD

• California: 3/24-26 (actual duration still being worked out) John Rose is local lead and other national staff/leadership participation is planned

• Colorado: 3/25 AIAA Rocky Mountain Section is just one of a number of participating organizations The local AIAA leadership contact had to back out without a designated replacement

AGENDA 6C

Effects of Recent Staffing and Volunteer Participation Changes

• Steve Howell is now the AIAA staff lead for SA WG activities Needs to balance this effort against other pre-

existing Public Policy oversight roles

• More reliance must now be placed on volunteers to help plan and attend state Aerospace Days

• A new local volunteer lead for AIAA is needed to facilitate on-going AIAA Aerospace Day involvement in Colorado

AGENDA 6

Future SA WG Plans

• Transition of all AIAA California Aerospace Week participation to local leadership beginning in 2015 Local AIAA involvement is now well rooted

• Strengthen AIAA roles in other state events that have on-going AIAA participation (GA, VA, FL)

• Re-establish AIAA role in Rocky Mountain state events• Identify 2-3 new states each year as opportunities for new AIAA

Aerospace Day participation Prioritize on basis of levels of existing local aerospace activity as well as local

interest in policy advocacy activities Transition AIAA national attention to new states as local AIAA volunteer

involvement becomes sustainable in states previously getting AIAA national attention

AGENDA 6C

Guidelines for Future State Event Support Planning

• Establish a master database of state government PoCs on the AIAA Web Portal Keeps track of state-level contacts as AIAA engages in more states Enables prompt recording of that information as volunteers and staff identify PoCs Will be a critical resource to enabling success of the SA WG goals

• Identify and vet AIAA local-level volunteers with expertise in areas of local legislative interest

• Prepare/document a common set of rules for state-level engagement on behalf of AIAA Create an state-level interaction procedures manual and/or training process for vetted

volunteers

• Assure on-going mentoring of new volunteers to sustain local interaction capabilities• Use AIAA staff to assist local volunteers in preparation of requested testimony or

legislative background information sought at their state level Coordinate with TAC to create a list of national-level SMEs that can help the staff get

applicable, substantive technical content on short notice
