February Meeting: (24 Jan 2010)
Wednesday, February 10. Starting Time: 4:45pm. Location: Applied Technology Associates (ATA) at 1300 Britt Street, SE, Albuquerque, NM.
Meeting Program: Steve West will present a talk on "Risk Creep: Normalization of Deviance and How to Prevent It!" (Lessons
Learned From The Challenger Accident: How To Become Zero Fault Tolerant And Not Even Know It).
Abstract: Risk Creep is very difficult to truly understand and manage. NASA’s Challenger disaster is an example where risk
creep advanced through small steps leading to a catastrophic mishap. As a result of the mishap investigation, NASA coined a new phrase:
Normalization of Deviance. This presentation takes us through the events and actions leading up to the Challenger and Columbia accidents and
brings those lessons home with illustrations of how easily Normalization of Deviance occurs in our every day professional lives. It concludes
with some guidance to reduce and prevent risk creep.
Speaker: Steve West is currently the System Safety Lead for Boeing - SVS, Inc. here in Albuquerque. His experience spans 37
years of service in both the active duty military and defense contractor arenas. He holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Electrical Engineering
from the University of New Mexico.

In Memoriam: John Wirsbinski (1969 - 2009) (6 Jul 2009)
On April 24, 2009, a rising star in the Systems Engineering community was tragically removed from our midst. John Wirsbinski, 40, died in a motorcycle
accident leaving his wife, Shasta, and their twins, son Collens and daughter Lauren, without a beloved husband and father. As many of you know, John
was very active in the Systems Engineering community.
In addition to being a board member at large of the New Mexico Enchantment Chapter, he was also the co-chair of the Security Working Group, as well as
working on his Doctorate in Systems Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology.
For those desiring, a Memorial Fund has been set up to benefit the children. Donations can be made to the Wirsbinski Memorial Fund
