19. Highlights of Institute Activities Professional membership is down by 2%from this time last year. Student membership is up 22% from this time last year. May and June saw a total of 934 press citations for AIAA, 133 more than last year during the same period. We are now at 3,264 press citations for the year against a key indicator of 1680 to this point in time. The Daily Launch continues to be one of our most appreciated member benefits. It is currently distributed to 28,554 members. An effort is under way to begin offering a 30-day trial of the DL to AIAA prospects to entice them to become members. Communications is working with the AIAA History TC to cover the final space shuttle launch. The plan is to create a Web page on www.aiaa.org for members to post content pertaining to the final launch as well as stories from AIAA members who in some way were a part of the shuttle program throughout the years. Reminder – 2010 will be the last year DVD’s containing technical papers at conferences are made available to conference attendees. Papers will be provided on-line only. AIAA is developing the following exchange programs as part of its international collaboration with other organizations and to provide benefits to members: Executive level exchange with China Young Professional exchange with France 19

20. Summary – Honors and Awards Existing Awards and Policies SSTC proposes that teams as well as individuals be eligible for Space Science Award Theodor Knacke Aerodynamic Decelerator Systems Award –coming into compliance Written award processes, or at least the evaluation criteria, should be publicly available TAC H&A subcommittee Need to: disseminate H&A policies better (eligibility, carryover, waivers); improve nomination pools New Awards Future Business Potential New Awards Fred Billig Award in Hypersonics (HyTASP PC) – Revised, needs consultation and evidence Air Transportation Award (TC) – initial discussion, draft John McMasters Award in Design / Education – needs revision, home, consultation Energetic Components & Systems (TC) – initial discussion Space Tethers awards (various) – needs revision Unmanned Systems (PC) Award – no new action Existing Awards

22. Example Green Engineering Programs (Slagle/Lyons) Continuous Lower Energy, Emissions & Noise (CLEEN) Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative (CAAFI) GE Ecomagination Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) Environmentally Responsible Aviation (ERA) Adaptive Versatile Engine Technology (ADVENT)

23. Green Engineering Proposed Charter The purpose of the Green Engineering Program Committee (GEPC) is to promote a holistic, systems approach to improved energy efficiency, sustainability, renewable energy and ‘cradle-to-cradle’ design. GEPC serves as the AIAA focal point for all “green” aerospace-related programs and technologies, and works synergistically with the appropriate technical committees to assure that the AIAA membership is adequately informed about all aspects of this critical aerospace activity.

24. Green Engineering Scope • Serve as the focal point and interface between AIAA and the green technology community, including DOE, EPA, NOAA, and complementary professional societies. • Characterize the critical challenges for green technologies as applied to aerospace systems. • Identify rapidly advancing & emerging technologies that support improved energy efficiency and sustainability. • Support AIAA public policy forums / initiatives and provide a liaison to the Public Policy Committee. • Coordinate and focus green activities across the technical committees to develop / support conferences, workshops, position papers, panel sessions and technical sessions. • Co-sponsor relevant conferences and events with other professional societies. • Identify champions for new green initiatives within AIAA.
