SBC ELT News

Communications Report
 
  • Need to distribute the survey for the Annual Event
  • Include questions in survey to gain metrics on impact for Industry Assistance
  • Need to determine number of repeats from last year’s event
 
 
SBC Annual Event
 
  • Have received good feedback from NASA, primes, and attendees
  • Primes would like to have a joint event next year; SBC would still benefit
  • Good attendance considering less procurement activity and not combined with NASA event
  • Would like to add more about future procurements, forecast, etc, to the agenda
  • Good venue (support to run logistics was nice), but theater large compared to number of people; Suggestion to use a venue like LPI (lunar planetary institute), but part of our event is community involvement so inclusion of UHCL is good
  • Not enough resources to organize formal matchmaking; Next year, possibly have primes organize their own matchmaking or ask SBA representative to help with it
  • Possibly shorten event next year – morning only?
  • Issue with people returning to the event after breaks; possibly due to venue
  • Need to distribute invite about two weeks earlier
  • Not enough parking signs; need to add parking instructions to registration
  • If lunch to be provided next year, need to figure out a way to receive pre-payment
 
New Business
 
  • Discussed how many events SBC should have each year; Currently besides the August event, we are active at the NCMA event in April and we also sponsor mixers between JSC representatives and small businesses
  • Should SBC set up as a non-profit business, establish a bank account, etc?
  • Start having combined meetings between other than small and small businesses (more collaboration);
  • Do primes have acquisition forecast for internal purchases? Will ask about it at meeting between primes and SBC
  • Determine impact of JSC contract reduction on small businesses (as announced at JSC all-hands)
  • Organize the retreat; Tentative date set for October 13
