Around the Institute

Magnus highlights some of the exciting activities happening around the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Among other things, the new governance structure went into effect at the May Board meetings. The Board of Trustees (Board) and the Council of Directors are busy getting organized--identifying any policies, procedures, or other organizational aspects that are still needed while also working jointly on creating the Institute's strategic plan for the next four years. In addition, the Resource Working Group, which has been meeting for the past year, will be making recommendations at the September Board meeting on how the Institute can thoughtfully and appropriately resource member activities in the new structure. These recommendations will be folded into the development of the Institute strategic plan. An enormous amount of work has gone into, and continues to be dedicated to, helping define the future of the Institute as the transition plays out over the next three years.
