AISES Code of Conduct

The American Indian Science & Engineering Society (AISES) was established with the goal of developing Native profes-

sionals and leaders in the areas of science, engineering and technology. In light of this goal, the first student leaders of

AISES developed a set of principles that prohibited alcohol, illegal drugs and harassment. These principles have be-

come core values of the organization and are incorporated as the Code of Conduct.

The AISES Code of Conduct promotes professional development and personal growth by strictly prohibiting the use of

intoxicating drugs or alcohol and all forms of harassment and discrimination. This code is meant to reflect the ideals of

our Native communities by establishing an expectation that we agree to protect and promote the well-being and growth

of all people. This code is expected to be honored when individuals are representing the AISES organization and by all

persons participating in AISES activities. To this end, each person is asked to consider the spirit of this code and pro-

mote its intent by refraining from prohibited activities and encouraging others to do the same.

Greetings,

The American Indian Science and Engineering Society Board of Directors and staff

would like to welcome you to the second annual 2013 AISES Leadership

Summit! Last year was a huge success and we are continuing on the same path

this year, using the feedback our initial attendees provided us. This year’s summit

includes the AISES Full-Circle Mentorship Program where 20 college students are

paired with 20 professionals, marking the beginning of a year-long adventure for

both students and professionals. The students will gain an up close view of leading as a science

engineering, technology and math (STEM) professional, as well as building a professional network to assist

them in building a career. The professionals experience that rare opportunity of passing on wisdom and

perspective to a younger member of the AISES family, thereby ensuring continued success for all Natives

in STEM.

The educational sessions are certain to keep you engaged with topics ranging from Bridging Native

Tradition within STEM and the Journey of the Cherokee Language through the Windows Operating System,

to Emotional Intelligence, Managing Personal Change, Project Team Development and more. The

presenters come from all walks of life and are recognized as leaders in their fields.

We encourage you to fully participate in the workshops, networking and mentorship opportunities provided,

as well as the opening and closing ceremonies and the Traditional Circle. Thank you to the APS

Foundation for sponsoring this year’s Full-Circle Mentor Program and to the rest of our sponsors for their

generous support and dedication to furthering the AISES mission. To our participants, we look

forward to a three-day experience where we can witness the molding of our future STEM leaders.

Lastly, while we are at Tamaya, if you have a question or comment, please stop me or any AISES team

member. We are there to serve you.

Thank you.

2013 AISES Leadership Summit Session Descriptions

Being a Native STEM Professional in a Technological and Resource Hungry World J. Gage Hutchens, SFDATA and Nathaniel Todea, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service A discussion of conflicts between scientific procedures and disciplines with American Indian ta-boos, American Indian beliefs, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (Example: AI/AN working with the dead, mining for minerals, working off-reservation) and how to overcome or absolve those issues. How do you respect your cultural ideals within science and engineering in a global society? A thoughtful and respectful conversation to bring forth issues to meeting world demands, STEM re-sponsibilities, and cultural integrity. Best Practices for Outreach, Community Service, Recruitment and Retention University of Minnesota Morris AISES Chapter Three years ago the University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) AISES chapter was non-existent. With the help of professors and a few students the UMM chapter was restarted. They have instituted many different positions and events to keep their chapter active and successful. Their outreach and community service has consisted of working with at-risk students and introducing them to AISES and the STEM fields in college. Recruitment and retention is important to keeping their chapter successful and diverse. Bridging Native Tradition within STEM Stanley Lucero, AISES Council of Elders A discussion of weaving and bridging Native tradition within the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. Change Management: Managing Personal Change Dr. Mary Wayne Bush, Raytheon Missile Systems This interactive session focuses on supporting participants through personal change. An overview of change is provided, as well as two models that are helpful tools for dealing with change. Exam-ples and paired-interaction sections are included to help participants integrate the material with their own experiences. Participants end the session by developing a short action plan to address any changes they are going through. Cherokee Language Future Through the Lens of Technology and Leadership Tracy Monteith, Microsoft The Cherokee language was officially included as one of the languages that is supported in the Windows operating system in December of 2012. The speaker made the first request for this ca-pability in 1989. This presentation is a unique and candid discussion about two decades of efforts to bring this project into fruition. This will be a candid, behind-the-scenes view of tribal generation-al bridging, tribal politics, leadership style morphing, and the skill set required to convince a multi-national corporation to do something for reasons other than profit.

Exuding Presence & Influencing the Executive Mindset Monica Marquez, Goldman Sachs This unique session will explore the process of how decisions are actually made by senior execu-tives. Once you understand all of the variables – presence, confidence, communication skills - that come into play, you can leverage the influencing strategies we cover to steer decisions in the direction you want them to go… on a key project, sales pitch or in the boardroom. Intercultural Competence: What a Leader Needs to Know Dr. Mark Bellcourt and Amber Eule-Nashoba, University of Minnesota Participants must take the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) on-line prior to the summit. The interactive presentation will include a discussion of the group profile, introduction to the Devel-opmental Model for Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS), discussion on white privilege, race, communi-cation styles, and leadership. Individuals will have the opportunity to have one-on-one individual feedback sessions on site during breaks or off time or schedule individual sessions via Skype after the summit. Given the time constraints, session will be limited to 20 people. Interviewing Skills Eric Mayo, Chevron Ever wonder how to successfully interview? Effectively presenting yourself during a meeting with recruiters begins prior to the interview process, and involves a series of strategies and steps that are further developed in the interview process. This workshop will provide you with the basic tools needed for an effective and successful behavioral-based interview, including presenting a com-pleted “STAR” to the interviewer. We will also discuss how native beliefs and practices may differ from predominant beliefs in interviewing with many corporations and agencies, and how you can work through that. Leading Project Team Development James Wilkerson, Central Intelligence Agency Have you ever wondered why some teams succeed and others fail? Have you ever been a mem-ber of either? What made the team succeed? What could have been done to reduce the risk of failure? This session discusses leading the team through the different stages of team development to deliver a successful outcome. The learning objectives of the session are built around an exciting team activity. Maintaining Cultural Identity in a Technological World Part I and Part II J. Gage Hutchens, SFDATA (moderator); Dr. Nancy Jackson and Dr. Julius Yellowhair, Sandia National Laboratories; Tyler Parisien, AISES National Student Representative and Nathaniel Todea, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service A panel of American Indian scientists and engineers will discuss conflicts between scientific proce-dures and disciplines with American Indian taboos, American Indian beliefs, Traditional Ecological Knowledge (Example: AI/AN working with the dead, mining for minerals, working off-reservation) and how they overcame or absolved those issues. How do you respect your cultural ideals within science and engineering in a global society? A thoughtful and respectful conversation of past ex-periences to help new engineers and scientists learn from other American Indian professionals’ life experiences in science and engineering.

Motivating the Middle Brittany Anstead, Ciarra Greene, Caitlin Kavanaugh, and Michael Preston, AISES Student Representatives As student leaders we all get frustrated that you and a few others do all the work— you need to start "Motivating the Middle!" There are three tiers of members in our chapters, the top, middle, and bottom. The top members are officers and fully dedicated members; the bottom members love the benefits, but contribute very little; the middle third play a supporting role—these are the ones to focus on! The purpose of this session is to guide you on how to motivate the middle third, cultivate new leaders, and ultimately strengthen your chapter. Professional Development Focus Group Sarah Lincoln, Dr. Mary Wayne Bush and Cheryle West, Raytheon Corporation Due to the emerging needs of AISES professional members, new programs are being developed in the arenas of leadership and professional development. AISES is conducting a focus group with a long-time industry partner, Raytheon, in order to clarify the needs of AISES professionals and gain both feedback and insight to professional members’ needs to advance the development of new AISES professional programs. Self Leadership: Find, Build and Adapt Your Emotional Intelligence Kristi Guiou and Kristina Halona, Raytheon Corporation Emotional intelligence is the foundation for many critical skills: decision making; self awareness: awareness of your emotions, accurate self-assessment, self confidence; social awareness: empa-thy, organizational awareness; assertiveness; and teamwork to name just a few. Emotional intelli-gence allows you to focus on a single skill to ultimately impact many leadership areas. In times past, emotional awareness and expression were considered to be liabilities in the workplace. To-day, more and more people are realizing emotions are present in every interaction, especially in the workplace. In this module, we will explore the knowledge of yourself, as well as the aware-ness of how you come across to others. Taking Networking to the Next Level Madison Anderson, Sterling DeWilde, and Megan Dunn, AISES Student Representatives This session will walk students through the entire networking process from preparing for an event to following up with a contact and every step in between. The session will highlight tips for making the participant stand out in crowd, and will teach students how to utilize their network to land their dream job.
