Technical Activities Committee (TAC)
• Chaired by Vice President of Technical Activities• Manages the activities of the TCs and PCs
Organization of ~30 technical conferences and workshops a year
Recognizing technical excellence via Awards Sponsoring short courses Developing standards and position papers
• TAC’s products and services, which reach over half of AIAA’s members, generates most of the financial net used to fund activities for our Institute’s members

Technical Committee Membership• Solicitation for nominees each summer (August)
• AIAA at large• Technical Committees• Aerospace America
• Committee membership selection is chairman’s responsibility• Regular Membership limited to 35
• Larger membership only with TAC approval• Three-year term; 1 May to 30 April• Term exceptions (both less than & more than three years)• Attend at least two meetings a year• Should maintain a balanced composition
• Affiliation• Professional interest• Geographic location• Gender
• Associate, International and Alumni members – 15 additional positions
18
Program Committee Membership
• Dynamic Membership Addresses an important and current program or
area of interest• Chair must be an AIAA Member• No membership limit
Appropriate membership from outside the Institute’s membership is encouraged
• PCs are reviewed for relevance every 3 years
19
Regional Deputy Director Responsibilities
• Advise and assist Sections with technical programs (e.g. symposia, lecturers, local TCs).
• Communicate with the Technical Officer for each section as often as possible. If there is no Technical Officer, maintain a meaningful and continuing liaison with appropriate individual(s) in the Sections.
• Collect and disseminate information on other Regional technical programs/activities that may be useful to local Sections in formulating or improving their local programs.
• Develop an "ideas that work" list for the Sections.
20
Regional Deputy Director Responsibilities - 2
• Alert Sections as to when a technical meeting will be in their area.
• Encourage Sections to set goals/objectives for technical programming and to communicate said goals/objectives to the Deputy Director.
• Participate in the Regional Leadership Conference. • Convey information from the Technical Activities Committee
(TAC) meeting to the Regions and Sections. Communicate Region and Section activities to the Committee.
• Attend at least two meetings of TAC. At these meetings, report on sections, technical activities, actions taken, and pertinent information from the RAC meeting.
21
Current Regional Deputy Directors - Technical
• Region I – Stephen Rizzi• Region II – Thomas Mensah• Region III – Ian Halliwell• Region IV – Mark Melanson• Region V – vacant• Region VI – Jane Hansen• Region VII – Christian Mari
22
Challenges for TAC and RSAC
• Little overlap between TAC and RSAC activities • In general, those who are active in Technical
Activities are less active in Sections and visa versa (there are exceptions)• While TAC conferences occur in near active
Sections, we do a poor job of reaching out to the Sections and Regions• Poor utilization of our Regional Deputies
23
Areas for Collaboration
• Promoting Young Professional activities Support YPC events and receptions Facilitate their participation in our committees They are the key to our Institute’s future
• Technical Activities speakers list Augment Distinguished Lecturers list
• Region/Section sponsored sessions or tracks at Technical Conferences• Joint TAC/RSAC Workshops
Last one held at ASM in January 2007
