BUT WHY DID YOU JOIN INCOSE?
1818
Are Chapters relevant in an online world?
... Perhaps “nothing could be more necessary” (The Last Samurai)
Chapters are about who you know, and who you can get to
know
19
INCOSE is about who you know and who you can get to know

– Organize professional and social programs that facilitate continuous professional development and networking
– Conduct membership recruitment and retention initiatives– Support technical activities to advance the state and art of
systems engineering practice, education and research– Market INCOSE as the international authoritative body on
systems engineering.– Increase the visibility of INCOSE and the systems engineering
profession.
22
Why Chapters?
• Facilitate professional networking and information exchange
• Source of local activities– Meetings (many are monthly)
– Tutorials, workshops, mini-conferences and vendor fairs
– Contributions to working groups and projects• Disseminate announcements and news• Develop local initiatives such as
– Tutorials and handbooks

Goal - Efficient and Effective Chapters• A new Keys to Effective Chapters program (resources on
a wiki website is available to assist chapters in the following ways:
http://keys-to-effective-ch.wikispaces.com(Or Google “INCOSE Chapter Wiki” – first result)
– Orientation for New Officers for a smoother start– Overview summarizes objectives and approaches to help
chapters and officers– Provides suggestions for planning and execution to help you
achieve better results – Procedures for Awards and Recognition document
• Provides Good/Best Practices with templates and examples• Provides recommendations to the Chapter Circle Awards process to
encourage planning and reduce ambiguity – Veteran officers available for chapter officers to ask questions or
share ideas via [email protected]
39
Chapter Keys Wiki
40
Goal - Efficient and Effective Chapters• An effective chapter actively involves its membership, and
plans for the current year with sustainability into future years, e.g.:– Strategic planning– President-Elect– Leadership succession planning
• Experience indicates that a lack of effective planning and communications puts a chapter on a downward spiral
• Chapter activities are an opportunity to find potential new chapter leaders to ensure continuous leadership succession. Look for:– Active contributions with consistent, dependable
involvement– Intersections of individual interests and chapter needs
41
Goal - Efficient and Effective Chapters
• Sector Directors and their assistants are first line of support
• Additional personal assistance/mentoring available from experienced chapter officers
• Circle awards provide a means for INCOSE to recognize a chapter’s accomplishments in achieving INCOSE’s objectives and ideals– Circle Awards criteria provide proactive metrics for a
chapter to track their progress in serving members and promoting systems engineering
– Submittal preparation should not be a last minute effort to find activities that satisfy award criteria
