V/STOL TC Financial Report: Balance As of 6/9/10 $48,704.18 Current Balance $48,704.18

To Be Expensed Travel for Young Professional to IPLC ($TBD) F.E.Newbold Trophies ($TBD)

Established Contingencies: Young Professionals Social ($5,000) Short Course Contingency ($10,000) Travel for YPs to IPLC ($5,000)

Pax River Short Course Summary:  Paul Bevilaqua reported to the committee that 52 students attended the short course  30 students were required to break even monetarily, the excess should net $8,000 to $9,000 for the TC and roughly the same for Pax River  There was a wide range of sometimes conflicting comments from the participants, including: o They’d prefer to have more videos and interactive learning o Reduce course to 4 days from 5 o Shorten the break time o Include a reception that would extend the day o 8am to 5pm is too long o However, the overall feedback was generally positive

F.E. Newbold Award:  Due to Technical Activities Committee changes that occurred in May, the decision to award to recipients for this cycle was vetoed by Neil Pfeiffer even though this would have been the 3rd time out of 6 that we would have awarded 2 winners.  The Awards committee was forced to choose one recipient, Jack Franklin. The second place nominee, Bill Lewis, cannot be carried over and his nomination package will need to be resubmitted  Jack Franklin will be the first Newbold award winner to receive the $1000 honorarium  Peter Curtis will measure the plaques on the trophy so that Jack’s engraving will match the others  The trophy will be shipped from London to the IPLC in Philadelphia but the details of when and how it will be stored during and after the conference are yet to be determined o NASA Ames is one possibility but they do not display it in a place of prominence o The AHS Headquarters is another option ACTION ITEM: Mike H will check on this possibility o The AIAA HQ is another option ACTION ITEM: John Sprague will check on this possibility  Nomination carryovers for the next cycle o Al Yackle o Vaughn Fulton o We will require at least one more – Bill Lewis should be resubmitted  There will be a meeting of the awards committee after the IPLC has concluded to determine the future of this award

International Powered Lift Conference Update: (Mike Hirschberg)  Mike informed the TC that the paper submission deadline has been extended to August 6th  All attendees are encouraged to register for the conference and book rooms at the Sheraton ASAP to help get an accurate head count

 The Museum was the intended location for the Grand Banquet on Wednesday but may only accommodate 60 people (at least 100 are expected). The banquet may be moved to the hotel and the Tuesday reception may be in the Museum.  Currently there is no speaker (General Troutman declined the invitation) for the final plenary session on Thursday nor do we currently have a Thursday Lunch speaker. The conference may end around noon instead.  Due to excessive audio/visual costs, the lunchtime movies may also be eliminated  All of the VIP plenary session speakers have confirmed participation  75 of the possible 81 slots have been filled with papers/presentations

IPLC Sponsorship:  Mike and Charlie suggested to help alleviate some of the costs of running the IPLC that the TC sponsor a coffee break or the reception  Suggested contribution amounts range from $2500 to $5000  There will be a supplement to the minutes outlying the details for the TC to review
