Abstract :
The Board of Directors of the IEEE, at its meeting of August 22, 1967, at WESCON, approved the creation of an Educational Activities Board, to have a status comparable to the three other major Boards of the Institute: Publication Activities, Technical Activities, and Awards. This action represents a reorganization of major importance to the IEEE in improving the effectiveness of its educational activities and furthering its recently launched program of continuing education services for the membership. The action came as a result of a year-long study by the Ad Hoc Committee on IEEE Educational Activities,* culminating in a report to the Board of Directors in August. Because the results and recommendations of the study have important implications for all members of the Institute, we are taking the unusual step of reproducing below the Ad Hoc Committee report in toto.
