5. AIAA TCM Charter
SCOPE
Conduct activities that are directed toward understanding issues and developing solutions to management problems of interest to the aerospace and defense community, and to encourage and promote improved management methods and practices.
OBJECTIVES
To fulfill the AIAA Charter by providing significantly useful and relevant products, services, and information on management to the AIAA and its associated industrial, academic, and government organizations.
To provide a meaningful environment for individual and corporate growth and a forum for committee members to exchange knowledge in the field of management through networking and sharing of personal and corporate experiences.

6. TCM Goals
Conduct three content-rich TCM meetings with an average attendance of at least 15 members (Singhal)
Publish meeting minutes on the TCM website within 45 days of meeting (Miotto)
Engage every TCM member actively in the work of at least one TCM subcommittee (Subcommittee Chairs)
Maintain TCM active membership at 25 members (McGill)
Create a mutually beneficial partnership with AIAA that enhances the contributions made by TCM to the AIAA mission (Felder)

7. TCM Values
We value each other’s company and the insights we gain through our interaction with other executives facing similar challenges in leading a highly technical industry;
The intimacy that comes from a smaller TC serves our goals well, we do not seek to expand to the maximum number of allowable members to maintain the close personal relationships that are so valuable to us;
We seek to recruit a highly diverse group of executives (in every possible dimension), however, we insist that our members hold (or have held) positions at a sufficiently high level in industry, academia, or Government that their insights and experiences will provide valuable insights to the other TC members;
Our service to AIAA comes primarily in the form of our members’ individual service on the Board of Directors, Institute Committees, and AIAA Editorial Boards, rather than group participation in technical conferences and fora.

8. What works for us
The host is a senior executive at the facility in which we are holding our meeting (preferably, THE senior executive)
Sometimes it works if the facility reports to the TC member but is not physically co-located, but it’s way hard…
The nature of our goals and our modus operandi is such that the face-to-face interaction among members is key
This requires a strong commitment to attendance at meetings
Individuals who meet the membership criteria for TCM are expected to have control of their own calendar choices and travel budgets (occasional exceptions of course are understood)
Except in special cases for business coordination, telecons are basically pointless for us

9. Expectations of Members
Attend two of three meetings annually
Join a subcommittee and participate actively in the work of that subcommittee
Make the TCM a priority for yourself in setting your calendar and making choices about involvement

10. Expectations of Subcommittees
Subcommittee chairs should ensure that their subcommittee is represented by a member at every meeting
The person attending on behalf of the subcommittee should come meaningfully prepared to give a report on the subcommittee’s progress, and should be empowered to take actions on behalf of the subcommittee
Each subcommittee should report the status of their work in some sort of written form (slides, spreadsheet, message, other) to the chair and the secretary so that we can maintain situational awareness of the TC’s business in between meetings

11. Subcommittee Goals Alumni Conferences
Maintain contact with those Alumni who wish to stay in contact
Maintain an up to date contact list for the Alumni members
Ensure that Alumni members are informed about meetings in the event that they would like to attend
Conferences
Bring potential needs for TCM involvement to the attention of the TC
Mediate between the TC and TAC with respect to our involvement in Forums and conferences
Serve as the logistical point of contact between TC volunteers and conference organizers for any meeting we decide to support

12. Subcommittee Goals (Continued 1)
Special Projects
Take on other opportunities beyond the TCs normal business
Awards
Manage the Hap Arnold award process
Manage or support the von Braun award process (on alternate years)

13. Subcommittee Goals (Continued 2)
Operations
Ensure that someone is delegated from the Operations Subcommittee to take minutes at every meeting
Post meeting minutes on the SharePoint TC website within 45 days of each meeting
Attend the monthly Group telecon and report back to the Executive Subcommittee
Prepare the annual TC Report to the ETMG
Prepare the annual Aerospace America article (or delegate and ensure completion of this task)

14. Subcommittee Goals (Continued 3)
Membership
Manage the member data base
Track member attendance trends
Provide current addresses to other subcommittees
Serve as a clearing house for member recruitment
Invite prospective members, and manage the election of prospective members to the TC
Recruit nominators to prepare Associate Fellow and Fellow nominations for qualified TC members, and track completion of this task

15. Subcommittee Goals: Programs
Responsible for the technical program content at all TC meetings
Share responsibility with the host for setting up TC meetings
The host is responsible for most local logistical preparations, but the program subcommittee has the subject matter knowledge around how the TCM runs its meetings, and serves as the host’s expert help in the area of meeting logistics
Lead the TC’s discussion in selecting technical theme topics for future meetings, facilitate the selection of topics, scheduling dates, and recruiting the host
Maintain a 12 month look-ahead plan for future meetings

16. The Executive Subcommittee
Consists of the Chair, the Vice-chair, all subcommittee chairs, the immediate past Chair and any past Chairs who remain active with the TC
Provides guidance to the Chair in the leadership of the TC
Develops strategy for the TCM
The immediate past Chair serves as Co-chair of the Executive Subcommittee unless a Vice-Chair has been named, in which case, the Vice-Chair serves as co-Chair
