Len Carlson, Vice-President, Communication Services,
and Janet O’Neil, Newsletter Editor, are shown at the
annual dinner following the November Board of
Directors meeting.
We get mail! We’ve received many comments from our readers about the EMC Society Newsletter. One letter to the editor from Scott Bennett follows on page 4. One reader, Al Smith, requested that the directory of EMC Society Board members, Chapter Chairman, and Standing Committee Chairman be published in the Newsletter. You may find this directory on page 25. Thank you to Al for making this suggestion. Keep in mind that this directory is updated regularly and may be found on the EMC Society web page (www.emcs.org). Another reader, Bob Dockey, suggested we include information about becoming a Senior Member of the IEEE. This information is included on page 42. Lastly, one reader, Dave Bernardin, called in to say he appreciated the side shot photo of him which appeared in the last issue’s article on the experiments at the Denver EMC Symposium. (See page 10 of the Fall 98 issue, that’s Dave in the center foreground.) Apparently, Dave could now prove to his company that he actually attended the technical presentations during the symposium!
We have a new article on the Representative Advisory Committee (RAC) which was submitted by Dave Case, the Chairman of this Committee. See Page 22. Dave is taking over for Joe Butler who previously contributed as Associate Editor for Inter-Society Activities. I would like to thank Joe for his support over the years as an Associate Editor. Joe contributed to the EMC Society Newsletter for eight years! It’s easy to understand why Joe would want to step down as Associate Editor. He was recently elected to the position of “President-Elect” by the EMC Society Board of Directors so he will be busy preparing for his role as our next EMC Society President. Also, Joe’s position as a Marketing Manager for EMI shielding products at the Chomerics Division of Parker Hannifin keeps him busy and on the road. In fact, he will travel to the Pacific Northwest in March to speak to the Seattle and Oregon Chapters of the EMC Society. Welcome to Dave Case, Joe’s capable replacement!
Lastly, I would like to call to your attention that there are several changes in EMC
Society organization under Todd Hubing, Vice-President for Member Services. We have a new
Awards Chair, Henry Benitez, a new Chapters Coordinator, Ghery Pettit, and a new
Membership Committee Chair, Andy Drozd.
(Apparently, Todd did some arm-twisting following the last Board meeting to recruit
members of the Board of Directors to fill these positions.) They are all dynamite fellows!
Congratulations to these new leaders and kudos to Todd for his excellent delegating!
That’s it for now. Thank you for your input and please keep up the phone calls, letters and e-mail!
