The 2019 INCOSE Chesapeake Chapter Survey - Now Open
Our Members’ Moment for 2019
The BOD has completed its annual planning session and identified potential training, tutorials, and expert speakers to provide professional opportunities for our members. As systems engineers you are aware that a plan is only a beginning and must be supported with resources to execute the many tasks. Fortunately, we are well supported by our members’ employers both in financial as well as in-kind support. What varies from year to year is the hands-on support needed to carry out the many tasks in the plan. We depend on our members who earn PDU’s to support their certifications and others who are interested in taking on a task that offers personal satisfaction. Regardless of the work, chapter members are publicly recognized for their roles at our annual Holiday Reception. For this reason I hope all Chapter members will recognize this event’s importance and continue to contribute to its success.
The best way to describe the Chapter’s support requirements is to list the services that we plan to make available to the membership. This will also be influenced by the feedback that you supply by taking our annual survey using the link above.
10 monthly meetings that feature either an invited speaker, a discussion panel or student presentations. These are video taped streamed and later placed on our YouTube channel for later viewing.
Tutorials usually held on Saturdays to provide opportunities to enjoy in depth treatment of topics of general interest to Systems Engineers. Some subject examples are: Innovation workshops, Leadership, Model Based Systems Engineering topics including tool demonstrations.
