The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) 2009–2013 Strategic Plan consists of three sections. Section I defines the vision, mission, and strategic imperatives of the Institute. Section II identifies the strategic goals of the Institute for the next five years, through the end of 2013. Section III describes the specific action plans to be implemented in each of the Institute’s product and service areas to accomplish these strategic goals.

The Deputy Excecutive Director of AIAA is the primary person responsible for updating the strategic plan annually. In accordance with bylaw 5.3.15, the Vice Presidents are responsible for Section III (5.3.15 The Vice Presidents shall develop Strategic Plans for their areas of responsibility that will form the initial basis for the Institute’s Strategic Plan. They shall be responsive to and supportive of the Strategic Plan).

We are ready to respond AND execute the plan, and we firmly ask our membership to participate with renewed energy as we move forward.

The plan is available for your review. We welcome your comments and will thoughtfully consider them as we update the plan for early 2010 publication. We only ask that you respect the integrity of AIAA's business operations and not share this information with individuals who might misuse it.
