April F2F Planning

["Jeffrey A. Estefan" <jeffrey.a.estefan@jpl.nasa.gov>]

SOA-RA SC Colleagues,

 

In preparation for the April F2F, below are the NASA/JPL policies regarding visits during normal business hours.  [Note that the first bullet is my responsibility.]

 

BUSINESS RELATED VISITS DURING NORMAL WORKING HOURS
(7:30 am - 4:30 pm Mondays - Fridays):

• Complete the JPL Security (U.S.) and Foreign National Visitor Request Form in advance of visitors coming to the Lab for technical, scientific, research, sales, demos, seminars, lectures, Laboratory sponsored club meetings, consulting, Laboratory presentations, or contract employment interviews.
• All visitors over 18 yrs. must show proper photo identification.
• Visitors coming to the Laboratory for business related visits who are not U.S. Citizens, but who have permanent resident (PR) status, must have their PR card with them.
• Foreign National visitors must be approved prior to their visit by the Office of Export Compliance. JPL employees requesting visits by foreign nationals must submit a completed JPL Security (U.S) and Foreign National Visitor Request Form well in advance of the visit. Foreign Nationals must possess their Passport and Visa to gain visitor access to JPL.

Am I mistaken in assuming that we don't have Foreign Nationals on our subcommittee who would be attending?  If I am mistaken, please let me know ASAP because the lead-time for approval is much longer than U.S. Citizens or permanent residents.

 

Finally, below are some links that provide more information about the "Lab," including maps & directions from major airports.  I'll make some hotel recommendations in the coming weeks.
