History of the IEEE Toronto Section - the Section Chairs
The IEEE Toronto Section was formed on September 30, 1903 as a section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE). The Canadian Section of the IRE was formed in Toronto in 1925. The AIEE and IRE merged in 1963 to create the IEEE. This is a record of the chairs of the AIEE - IEEE lineage, with occasional information about IRE chairs. We hope that many older members will come forward - bringing us information about our past and about the accomplishments of our predecessors.
