If you are interested in being in the committee, please e-mail Irene: chair2019@aiaahouston.org
Would you or a colleague consider serving the Houston Section as a 2020-2021 executive council member? While we’re building the nomination committee, take a gander at the bylaws and see what an officer or councilmember position entails.
If you would like more information or submit an early nomination, please e-mail Irene: chair2019@aiaahouston.org
Due to competing priorities with the pandemic and needing time to resume to some level of normalcy, the AIAA Houston Section executive council (with AIAA National concurrence) decided to postpone 2020-2021 elections to August.
In the meantime, we are looking for AIAA Houston Section members to participate in the nomination committee as a chair/member. Duties include: soliciting nominations, verifying and tallying up votes, and announcing election results.
If you are interested in being in the nomination committee, please e-mail Irene: chair2019@aiaahouston.org
Happy August! I hope the summer is off to a superb start (and you and your loved ones are staying cool and comfortable in this heat).
I am Irene Chan, the 2019-2020 AIAA Houston Section Chair. Along with the Executive Council (EC), I am at the ready to harness that awe-inspiring energy from witnessing the technological leaps and bounds we have made in the aerospace industry since the Apollo program. The EC is starting to ramp up the planning for the 2019-2020 year to sustain that enriching appreciation for anything and everything related to aerospace.
Are there activities the section should invest resources on? In addition to our Annual Technical Symposium, are there other technical committee efforts you would like to see?
If you would like to help shape the future of aerospace in various Texas counties and polish that leadership experience, mark your calendars for the EC retreat on Tuesday, August 27, 6pm and contact me at chair2019@aiaahouston.org for more details.
There are plenty of open seats at the EC table and we would love to have you join the merry party! The open positions on the org chart (PDF) barely scratch the surface of available opportunities. (Please tell me that being a webmaster jam master for the section is your calling.)
