Preparations for Fall 2015 meeting in Honolulu Joint Meeting with A-5 and A-6 and AMS CE&P
Why are we going to Honolulu? One of our Strategic Goals is to be more international We have been going outside of North America every four years since 2002 We have desired to have a meeting in Asia due to the major aerospace business going on there The logistics and expense to have a meeting in Asia has made it not work out for our committee Honolulu is a great alternative for our regular attendees and to attract Asian participants Both A-5 and A-6 are celebrating major milestones 100th meeting for A-5 75th year for A-6

Cost Benefit of A-6 in Hawaii This is a regular meeting and will have all the same meetings as usual, plus with the added benefits of simultaneous meetings with A-5 (Landing Gear) and ability to meet Engineering Leaders from Asia in one convenient location The costs are in line with our North American meetings and significantly less than our typical non-North American meetings (which this one replaces to satisfy our desire to connect with Asia)
