Our Engineering Management Society (EMS) Chapter has been officially approved by IEEE Headquarters. We had much response from members who were interested in this Society and wanted to activate it locally. A planning meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, Aug 18th, at 11:15am in the Holiday Inn Research Park - Hopper’s Grill. Lunch will be $7.99 plus tax. Discussion will include: Elections, Meeting times and location, possible speakers, and topics. If you are interested in joining this Chapter, or will be in attendance at this planning meeting, please email me at Sonya.L.Hutchinson@nasa.gov I will be acting as Chair until an official election has been held.
