Roundtable Guide

The role of Roundtable Chair and Vice Chair is essential to the function of the GTUI. The role of Chair
requires experience with gas turbines (ideally with the gas turbine under discussion), recognized
senior standing in the User forum, knowledge of the industry and key issues, sensitivity to the interests
of all Roundtable attendees including OEM’s and the ability to keep the Roundtable on track and
provide a stable, organized discussion forum for all. Given the above, not all GTUI members can be
effective Roundtable Chairs and training in historically successful Roundtable techniques will help all
potential Chairs.

Completion of Roundtable Training will generally be required to serve as a Roundtable Chair and Vice
Chair. Roundtable training for Assistants may be waived on an individual basis by the Board of
Directors Chair on recommendation of the Roundtable Chair.

The Board of Directors may, in its sole judgment, appoint Roundtable Chairs who have not completed
Roundtable training provided the appointed individual is generally recognized by skill, experience
and personality as having the required skills, background and judgment to effectively run a
Roundtable.

The Board of Directors will provide training on Roundtable leadership techniques and the
requirements for Roundtable discussion topics to all Chairs and Vice Chairs. The training will generally
occur the day prior to the conference.
