Janet O'Neil -- Editor, EMC Society Newsletter

Newsletter Editor Janet O'Neil is flanked by EMC Society Board members Don Heirman (L) and Joe Butler at the annual Board dinner.

A New Look for the New Year! With the advent of the year 2000, it seemed like an appropriate time to freshen up the look of the EMC Society Newsletter. In case you haven't noticed, we've revised the format of the Newsletter considerably. Most notably, the text is presented in three columns now, rather than in two. This change is significant as now more text can be printed on each page. (I trust you don't need to use a magnifying glass to read it though!) The resulting savings for printing and mailing fewer pages were considerable. The savings were applied to providing color now throughout the issue -- in all photos as well as graphs for the practical papers. I hope you enjoy the new, fresh look of the EMC Society Newsletter. Your comments are most welcome. Please send your comments to j.n.oneil@ieee.org or call me at 425-868-2558.

Don Heirman, Vice-President of Standards, received this prestigious award from the IEEE to recognize his 17 years of Chairmanship of the Standards Committee. Outgoing EMC Society President Dan Hoolihan presented the award to Mr. Heirman at the November Board of Directors meeting. The EMC Society is one of the most active IEEE Societies in the Standards Association, largely due to Mr. Heirman's leadership.
