• Current professional membership is 28,755, down 1% from last year

• Dues increase took effect 1 May 2010

• Discussed possibility of an ITAR session in 2012• Obtain more interest in industry in attending JPC. JPC has been criticized

for lack of real content like is seen at JANNAF

• ScholarOne, used for the first time at this JPC was widely criticized at the meeting. AIAA personnel indicated that they will work with ScholarOne to address the concerns and that improvements to the system are continually being made
