P&E Deputy Director Initiatives

• Major Award Nominations Committee - Establish a group-level committee dedicated to developing quality nominations for major P&E awards (Hurwitz)

• Membership Push - Implement a structured 2015 TC membership recruitment plan targeted at new members in critical areas (Kenyon)

• TC Chair Knowledge Pack - Augment TC/PC chair manual & training class with P&E-specific knowledge, tempo, guidelines, POCs, etc. (McGrath)

• Conference Infrastructure Development - Cultivate superior P&E Forum leadership by active mentoring and succession planning (McGrath)

• TC Annual Report Requirement Revision - Redefine TAC requirements for TC Annual Reports – content, format, etc. – to eliminate redundancy (Castro/NIS)

The following initiatives are now in work with the goal of adding value to P&E products and services:

2014 P&E Forum – Assorted Complaints

• 2014 And 2015 Forums At Exact Same Time As IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting; Avoid In 2016

• Forum 360 Sessions Were Self-Competitive – Two Simultaneous Panels Throughout The Conference

• Poster Sessions Received With Mixed Results, “Can’t Have Posters Be 2nd Class”

• Registration Fee For Retires Went From $50 In 2013 To $350 In 2014 With No Communication

• No Provided Lunch On Monday; No Food Available At Venue And No Off-Site Options Identified

• Underwhelming Acknowledgement Of JPC 50th Anniversary

• “What Happened To IECEC?” (Next Chart)


A Few Broader Considerations From P&E 2014

• Will We Maintain Individual Conferences As Forums Evolve?

In Development Of New Event Model, Concept Was To Maintain Individual Conferences Within Forum Umbrella, Promote “Villages,” Etc.

At P&E 204, Sense Of Constituent JPC & IECEC Was Lost, With Significant Negative Feedback From Energy Community (IECEC Attendees)

• TCs Are Moving Out On Virtual Committee Meetings

Largest P&E TC, Liquid Propulsion, Affirmed Format Of Face-To-Face Meeting In July And Virtual Meeting In January; January Meeting Is NOT At SciTech Due To IT Infrastructure Challenge

• We Are Continuing To Erode Rather Than Affirm The “Joint” ASME/SAE/ASEE) Part Of The Legacy JPC


P&E Forum 2015 Planning Underway

• P&E Forum 2015: 27-29 July, Hilton Orlando, Orlando, FL

• Forum Leadership

General Chair: Charlie Precourt, ATK

Technical Chair: Jerry Welch, NASA GRC

Integration Chair: Christine Pastor-Barsi, Sierra Lobo

• Executive Steering Committee

Anticipate Some Changes In ESC Membership

• Technical Planning Underway

Technical Program Committee Staffed, Energized & Underway; Held 1st Meeting On July 30

Inputs For Call For Papers Due August 13


Pervasive Challenges

• Maintaining Volunteer Enthusiasm & Engagement

• Thriving As Home Organization Sponsorship Trends To 1 Meeting/Year

• Tactical Steps To Grow In Energy

• Optimizing Resource Investment; Improved Efficiency

• Embracing Lessons Learned

• Many Great Ideas & Possible Improvements… But Limited Bandwidth
