Participation of engineers in public affairs

As reported in previous letters, Council is working toward increased participation of engineers in public affairs through a plan which ultimately will result in the setting up of state and regional public affairs committees composed of keymen in each area. The system of membership committees, now rapidly developing to encourage state and local societies to join Council under the new plan of nominal dues, is a step toward the final network of organized groups. Each new member society is asked to appoint a man to keep Council informed as to public affairs in his region and a complete setup in 1 or 2 states in order to test the plan is being made.
