E, MPCs, EPBC, and CTOC E-mails always answered Fall and Spring Division/Area meetings Webpage maintained by a responsive webmaster Electronic newsletter Special events l l April 5, 2008 Spring/Fall dinner On-site visits/meetings PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 5 of 16

Drivers Behind PDD Growth n Division 12 Process Development FOCUS ON THE VOLUNTEERS l l April 5, 2008 Past leaders stay involved and guide New leaders of division groomed from Area Chairs and Symposia chairs Vital importance of fun and welcoming atmosphere at dinners and planning meetings Share and try not to overwhelm anyone PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 6 of 16

Drivers Behind PDD Growth (cont’d) n Division 12 Process Development COLLABORATE and ADD NEW AREAS l l l April 5, 2008 More areas and symposia have helped Co-sponsor as many sessions as we sponsor RANTC interactions and open to new proposals New ventures (short course on web did not work but. . ) IMRET partnership enviable Alternative Energy Initiative getting started PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 7 of 16

Drivers Behind PDD Growth (cont’d) n Division 12 Process Development MONITOR QUALITY OF PROGRAMING l l l April 5, 2008 Strategic and tactical plans important Symposia rallies group outside of regular meetings Check for duplicates, vendor presentations solely for advertising, and dominance of session by one group PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 8 of 16

Division 12 Planning By Area n n n Process Development Plan to program in three areas minimum Add sessions as interest dictates Look at the grid at planning meetings to determine balance or patterns in programming April 5, 2008 PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 9 of 16

Division 12 Lessons Learned n Programming is the key to sustainability and growth l l n Process Development Recruit new session chairs at every meeting Ongoing effort by all involved Continue to develop better metrics for measuring quality Add short courses Spending money wisely l l April 5, 2008 Lunches at area meetings did not work in Fall Try new ideas (Subsidize PDD Dinner at Fall 2008? ) PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 11 of 16

Division 12 Looking Ahead n n n Process Development Growing PD Symposium…improving quality and increasing sponsorships/exhibitors Strengthening programming at both meetings…more attendees Monitoring with new metrics…lower no shows Developing a couple of quality pre-conference short courses…continued offerings Enhancing prestige of our awards…higher sponsorships requiring formal presentations at the meetings Collaborating more…energy field, reaction engineering division, venture capitalists, and academics April 5, 2008 PDD Presentation to CTOC Slide 12 of 16

Alternative Energy Initiative Division 12 Process Development Vision: Benefiting society by providing strong leadership in developing alternative energy resources through collaboration and public outreach. The quest for new fuel and energy sources and concerns about climate change are at the forefront of public discussion. In many ways, these two issues are linked. While there has been much public input from the scientific community, chemical engineers, who are in a unique position as the implementers of technology, are largely silent.
