AIAA “State of the Union”

January 2014

Continuing Operations YTD September 2013

Impacts to AIAA

• Ended 2012(471K) and 2013(2.2M) with a negative operating balance Budgeted 2013 anticipating negative operating balance (500K)

• Major Factors (see following charts): overall 25% decrease (average) in conference attendance in

2013 Cancellation/delay of vended events

• Mandated a balanced budget for 2014 Used new reporting structure Constructed Forum budgets as “projects” incorporating all

relevant Institute activities Overall budget cuts of $1.1M had to be identified
