Reflections from 2009

It’s hard to believe that 2009 is behind us already, but I’m excited about what 2010 will bring. Last year, we had some awesome events: numerous technical meetings from our six technical societies, another excellent Alabama Regional Future City Competition, social events such as the GOLD open house at the Makers 256 and the IEEE 125th Anniversary Celebration at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. This year, our own EMC Society won the Most Improved Chapter award from the global EMC Society. We recognized excellent local talent of our Section at this year’s Engineer’s Week Banquet and the Professional of the Year Banquet.

New Year, New Officers

Congratulations to all of our officers of the IEEE Huntsville Section Executive Committee:

Let’s Get Started

Our first major event this year will be the Alabama Regional Future City Competition.  If you have never attended this event, I highly recommend it!  It is open to the public.  Come and experience the scientific creativity of students from all over the state of Alabama.   Next, we have two events on January 21.  At lunch time, theAerospace and Electronics Systems Society will present a discussion on the Development and Certification of Commercial Avionics.  In the evening, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Society provides a presentation called Abraham Lincoln Assists with EMI Testing.

This year, we introduce some new ways for you to follow us online by integrating our Google calendar, joining our LinkedIn group and viewing our Flickr photos online.  I hope that our members have enjoyed the past year’s events and are looking forward to our meetings this year.  Stay up to date on the events that are coming your way, and as always, please send us your ideas and feedback.
