A message from the Chairman

Summary form only given, as follows. The PTGBTR is now a part of the largest Engineering society in the world. It is easy to get lost in an organization of 160,000 members and regard our organization as an unimportant segment of the vast, confusing complex that is electronics today. There is danger of losing our identity as a commercial and technical group in this situation. The Professional Group system has been successful in reducing this complex situation to manageable segments. There is no reason why we cannot have the same easy, informal interchange in our group that was characteristic of the early IRE meetings If you know someone who is a part of our industry and who is not a member of the PTGBTR, urge him to fill out the application below, show him the editorial on page 5 and make him an active, participating member of PTGBTR. By the way, the Administrative Committee is interested in receiving any suggestions on how we can better serve the membership I hope to see you at the Chicago Spring Conference.
