15. PS ERC 15 PS ERC ’s Future Growth Growth objectives: Increasing research support in areas where we are strong and where we can make a contribution. Increasing education support so we can help in addressing the problem of exiting expertise. The current status of PS ERC ’s conversations with CTC will be discussed from 11 AM – 12 Noon. We should also examine mechanisms for new partnerships with other similar organizations. We should also investigate creative engagements with EPRI. The new head of EPRI is well versed with PS ERC activities.

16. PS ERC 16 PS ERC ’s Future Growth We should put greater emphasis on maintaining existing members. I intend to take some steps to facilitate this. We should continue to aggressively seek new members. I will assign some responsibilities to individuals to make this happen. We should also continue to push for a competitive DOE Center of Excellence.

17. PS ERC 17 Retaining Existing Members: Member Visits It is critically important to visit PS ERC members, meet with their upper level management, and keep them appraised of our activities. I aim to make sure that a team from PS ERC visits each member company at least once in three years. I visited GE Headquarters in Atlanta, July 20. Presented a seminar on Dynamic Security Assessment. Introduced David Slump (VP) to Sakis Meliopoulos and GA Tech. I have scheduled a visit to CAISO to meet with CEO Yakout Mansour on September 19.

18. PS ERC 18 Retaining Existing Members: Member Visits This should be a team effort and PS ERC schools in member areas or cities should take the lead role. Site directors of these schools would be given responsibilities. We have to nurture and grow existing relationships to be truly effective in building “brand loyalty.”

19. PS ERC 19 Attracting New Members We should use success stories of existing members to attract new members. We have several vendors and manufacturers who have customers who are not currently PS ERC members. We could use these members to convince their customers to become PS ERC members. Jay Giri from AREVA has volunteered to come on such visits. We would like more volunteers for such trips.

20. PS ERC 20 Attracting New Members This is an on-going need. I intend to give one of the site directors a permanent responsibility for this activity. We will have to create appropriate mechanisms to facilitate this process. Team effort is also an essential ingredient to make this work.

21. PS ERC 21 Niche Short Courses Many PS ERC schools have vibrant continuing education programs. PS ERC offering the same subject matter does not facilitate cooperation. However, there are quite a few topics that would be of great interest to members and other utilities that we could tailor as a PS ERC offering. We could then offer a tiered course fee for PS ERC members and non members. This could be an important way to build visibility with the addition of revenue.

22. PS ERC 22 “Executive” Forum We have a strong activity in the energy policy arena but have not projected it to the external players in this area. I propose that we use $25,000 from our operating reserves and create an attractive forum with a proper choice of topics. If this is a real success then within a year or two this should become self-sustaining and even generate some revenues.

23. PS ERC 23 Value Proposition We have been doing a self study to identify, communicate, and improve PS ERC ’s value proposition. This is an integral part of retaining membership and attracting new members. This also differentiates us from our competition. We need to give this aspect more thought and clearly identify what sets us apart.

24. PS ERC 24 PS ERC Seminars This is one of our success stories. Each seminar has a significant number of industry member participants. We would like to be proactive and hear from our members about what they would like to see in our seminars. We would like input on topics, technical areas, etc.

25. PS ERC 25 Research Stem Leadership Our research stems have been effective in streamlining the research solicitation, proposal development, and review process. This process would greatly benefit from more active member participation. To facilitate this, I propose to bring to the EC a motion to add a Vice Chair from industry to each stem.

26. PS ERC 26 Breakout Session We will now have five breakout groups.  Growth of Research Support and Partnerships  Niche Short Courses  Executive Forum  PS ERC Seminars  Value Proposition

27. PS ERC 27 Growth of Research Support and Partnerships What decisions does PS ERC need to make to enable growth in overall research support? Where should PS ERC look for that growth and how should it organize itself to seek that growth? Should PS ERC be partnering with anyone to achieve the growth? If so, who?

28. PS ERC 28 Niche Short Courses What would it take for PS ERC to successfully compete in the professional development program marketplace? How should “success” be measured for PS ERC ? How could PS ERC organize and plan a professional development program initiative? How can short courses enhance the value of membership while covering the costs of doing them?

29. PS ERC 29 “Executive” Forum If PS ERC organized an “Executive” Forum, what would the Forum look like? Who would be there? Why would they come? How could PS ERC organize and plan such a forum?

30. PS ERC 30 PS ERC Seminars What are the good qualities of the existing seminar program that should be kept? What changes could be made to improve the seminars for industry, university researchers, and students? Topics and speakers Delivery technology Number/frequency Should we continue to keep seminars on new reports limited just to PS ERC members?

31. PS ERC 31 Value Proposition What are your reactions to the report of the Value Proposition/Statement Team? What more needs to be done to complete the development of a Value Statement? How can we gather (historically and in the future) the small but illustrative success stories that show our value?
