Findings

• BoD operates more like a management team and less like a governance team• BoD provides limited strategic guidance

Focus is too often on day-to-day staff matters• Board members often represent silo interests vs what is best for the Institute as a

whole• BoD is considered too big to efficiently govern• AIAA is too slow at pursuing new opportunities on establishing domain in growth

areas, and thus loses out to other organizations • BoD lacks true International representation

All but one BoD position are filled by U.S. Citizens

15

Findings (cont.)

• BoD and Staff have been reluctant to sunset legacy activities that are losing value• BoD lacks accountability

Bylaws say little about the BoD’s RAA • Staff is engrossed with supporting traditional needs

Insufficient time spent on new pursuits• Staff is too dependent on the BoD to take action on pursuing growth areas• Current BoD alignment does not create an environment for another organization to

want to merge for concern of losing identity

16

Recommended Path Forward

• Need a small (6-12) institute wide, strategically focused governing body

• Need to maintain tactical leadership roles as well• Need more International representation in governance• Constitution and By-Law changes will be required

• Establish a working group to identify new Governance structure• External Consultant will facilitate task• Working group to consist of 8 people

2 from IDC 2 Vice Presidents 1 Director-Technical 1 Director –Regional President Executive Director 17

Diversity Working Group

• Chair: Susan Frost, NASA Ames• Working Group Charter, objectives and Tasks defined

Develop a uniform definition of diversity to be used throughout AIAA that is congruent with AIAA’s vision and mission

Create recommendations for identifying and developing a standard set of strategic metrics and milestones for evaluating the diversity plans

Establish sub working groups to identify and recommend activities and resources that they deem important under represented members.

• Sub Working Groups Defined Academia & University Student Outreach Industry, Government, and K-12 STEM Outreach Diversity Programming Leadership & Growth Education & Communications

• Open call for participation – 26 members expressed interest Each self selected the sub working group of interest

– Leaders of sub groups selected18
