Do you or someone you know have photographs, documents or even memories to share regarding the history of IEEE Vancouver Section?  Our upcoming Section Centennial in 2011 is providing us with an opportunity to look back and reflect on an amazing century of progress in Electrical and Computer Engineering and its impact on British Columbia.  We have already begun to identify and propose local and regional historic sites for recognition by the IEEE Milestones program.  And we have already begun to develop a framework for capturing highlights in the Section's history on the web and perhaps elsewhere.  However, we need your input!  If you can help, please contact me at dmichelson at ieee dot org.

These are exciting times for IEEE Vancouver Section. We are restarting our Continuing Education Program and are launching a local presence for the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society, IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society and IEEE Photonics Society. We have  restarted our Conferences Committee with an aim to both attracting IEEE conferences to Vancouver and providing local support to them once they're here.  We are redoubling our efforts to help our three student branches to develop strong programs and are moving our Section finances to the IEEE Concentration Banking system in order to reduce the workload of our Section treasurer.  There has never been a better time to get involved with the Section and we look forward to your participation in Section activities in coming months.
