Great Minds in STEM ™ 2014 Conference 02

1989 The first HENAAC Conference was held as a means to identify, honor and document the contributions of outstanding Hispanic STEM professionals.

1996 The organization became a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit. This new classifica-tion allowed the organization to develop additional educational programs.

1999 The inaugural HENAAC College Bowl is held. This very popular conference competition provides an experience for corporations to interact with students unlike any other.

2000 The HENAAC Scholars Program launches. Since then, over 830 STEM students have received scholarships totaling more than$2 million.

2001 The Viva Technology™ Program was cre-ated to engage underserved and under-represented youth, teachers and parents in STEM opportunities so they gain an

understanding, appreciation, motivation and access to STEM-related education and career fields. Since then, Viva Technology™ has been implemented in 18 states and the District of Columbia, reaching over 100,000 students, teachers and parents!

2004 Future STEM Leaders Awards launched to honor the next generation of U.S. Department of Defense personnel by recognizing cadets and ROTC stu-dents for their academic and leadership achievements.

2008 The STEM-Up™ Initiative, a first of its kind comprehensive community-based pro-gram, was introduced in the Boyle Heights neighborhood of East Los Angeles. The initiative implements a value chain of op-portunities to create Awareness, Inspira-tion, Motivation and Skills for students from 20 public schools, their parents, and teachers. Locally based STEM entities are actively engaged in associated activities.

2009 The organization’s name changed from HENAAC to Great Minds in STEM™. The new name reflects the expanded role of the organization’s education programs and promotion of STEM career pathways in underserved communities.

2013 Great Minds in STEM™ celebrated 25 years of recognizing top Hispanic STEM talent from corporate America, higher edu-cation, government, military, and support-ing the academic and career development of underserved students.

The HENAAC Summit is an outstanding opportunity for confer-ence sponsors to convene and select the annual award winners, finalize conference participation, meet other sponsors, and find out the latest programs taking place within the entire Great Minds in STEM™ organization. The HENAAC Summit also includes meetings of the Executive Ambassador Council and the Great Minds in STEM™ Board of Directors.

Key Activities include:

SELECTION COMMITTEERepresentatives from conference sponsors, academia, past award winners, and sister organizations gather for a full day to review and score HENAAC Award nominations. Rankings are tallied and then presented to the selection committee chairs - Deans of the science and engineering schools from the universities serving as Academic Hosts - for final review and certification. Participation requires a full day’s commitment.

CONFERENCE PLANNING COMMITTEEThis committee meets for 6-8 hours during the Summit to preview the coming HENAAC Conference from start to fin-ish. In addition, all facilities at the newly renovated Hyatt Regency New Orleans scheduled for use during the con-ference will be toured. Sponsors are highly encouraged to send representatives.

SPECIAL MEETINGSIn the past, large organizations like the U.S. Army or U.S. Navy have used the Summit to bring their multiple divisions together to discuss best prac-tices and align common goals for the Conference in October. It’s also a good time to meet with GMiS staff members. Special meetings need to be requested at least 45 days in advance.
