At least two of the teleconferences will start at 6 P.M. for our West Coast attendees Will announce the official schedule when presenters are identified in the coming week. 11 AGENDA 6A

A Closing Thought on CVD Congressional Visits Day is still the best way we have of reaching out to the Hill. Despite the budget cut backs, it still depends on our support of the program to be effective. Come to CVD! You voice is more valuable than ever now. Invite your colleagues to come - make sure everyone understands that CVD is very important. 12 AGENDA 6A

A Closing Thought on CVD (Continued) Know that Steve and I, and the rest of AIAA appreciate the sacrifices you will make to attend CVD this year, and know that we will work with you insofar as possible to make your attendance a reality! Thank you for your ongoing support of CVD! 13 AGENDA 6A

State Activities Working Group (SA WG): Planning and Status Briefing to the PPC January 15, 2014 Phil Hattis, Working Group Chair 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 AGENDA 6C
