AIAA Engage: AIAA's New Online Community Platform

It is an exciting time at AIAA. The Institute is becoming more agile, better able to respond to new ways of communicating and collaborating. One of the ways we are doing so is by introducing a comprehensive online community system--AIAA Engage--from a company called Higher Logic. It is currently in beta testing, but I am excited by the potential of this new platform, and want to give you a sneak peek before its official debut in January. If you are familiar with Reddit, Linkedln bulletin boards, or chat rooms, you understand the idea of online communities. AIAA Engage will be our moderated, limited-access version with similar discussion formats to these other platforms-but with far more robust functionality, and focused specifically on the global aerospace community.
