– Coordination between TGs– Process required to get the coordination working– Grants versus loans and the criteria for each

Membership Numbers…• SDTG increase is healthy relative to other TG’s
growth in percentage increaseTechnical Group Balance Income Expense Balance Surplus Members Members Change %
Direction - 2005-2006• Be responsive!• Continue providing member value through
information dissemination– Emails of employment opportunities, etc
• Visibility– Established the David Meister SDTG Annual Award
for lasting contributions to the SDTG Charter
Newsletter Update • Great mechanism for increasing visibility
and keeping members informed• The move towards electronic newsletters
– 2001-2002 - Cost outlined as being an issue– 2002-03, 2003-04 - Time required to produce newsletter is high
and reducing the production time is desired (Electronic only)?– 2004-2005 - Three primarily electronic newsletters produced– 2005-2006 - Two electronic newsletters produced
• Time and expense to produce has dramatically decreased• Increased efficiency in production time
– 2007-2008 - COTG discussion about removing the newsletter requirement
Current Areas of Concern• Membership decline is reversing -
– 35% increase over the last year, 41% increase over the last two years– Mean membership increase is 20%
• Newsletter information/content– Obtaining information to include in the newsletter– Vast, diffuse focus area for the SDTG– Desire to offer useful information for the cross disciplinary
SDTG membership– Need to obtain more information from members for general dissemination
to the membership• Officer nominations
– Need more participation from members to guide the direction of the TG
Website update (www.sdtg.hfes.org)
• Review current design– Design issues/problems with the site?– Is the format acceptable? Are the links clearly marked? Is the information that
you are seeking on the page?• Input information:
– On SDTG operations• Aim - to document each of the actual position’s responsibilities undertaken (to reduce
re-inventing the wheel)• Bylaws
– On SDTG articles/references– Newsletters– Employment opportunities
• Challenges:– Keeping all information (especially contact information) current– All changes must be made through the HFES, the Chair, or the
Secretary/Treasurer
Listserve update/quick review• Centrally held at HFES• Listserve has been an effective tool for
communication between members• Problems?
– Sending– Receiving
• Suggestions for improving usefulness?
Bylaws• Most recent version (2002) of the bylaws is on
the web• COTG Meeting indicated that most TGs do not
have bylaws• Officers will need to revisit the notion of formal
bylaws
How to get involved…• Renew TG dues• Add to and assist us in completing the annual initiatives
(volunteers are always welcome)• Submit articles to the SDTG Newsletter Editor• Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer!
– To assist current officers– To serve as a reviewer for the SDTG Technical Program
through one of the current officers– New ideas for fostering/enabling participation from the
membership• E.g. what are we missing, what do you look for from the SDTG, how
can we better target this?
Officer Introductions for 2006-2007• Officers have been elected to serve in
guiding the direction of the SDTG for 2006-2007– Chair - Jerry Duncan– Secretary/Treasurer - Larry Avery– Technical Program Chair - Jay Shively– Technical Program Chair Elect - Janice Hebermehl– Newsletter Editor - Wenbi Wang– Webmaster - Teresa Alley
Direction - 2006-2007 • Provide smooth transition to new Chair and new SDTG
Officers• Continue to add value for membership to improve the
membership numbers– Implementing the David Meister SDTG Annual Award to
recognize the paper that is likely to have a lasting contribution to the SDTG Charter (1st Award - HFES 2007 - Baltimore, MD)
– New methods for augmenting knowledge and importance of system related material
– Add to the initiatives list to enable continued growth in 2006 and beyond
