Abstract :
At the beginning of the administrative year 1945–46 the AIEE committee on planning and co-ordination was given the special assignment of studying membership needs and desires for the intended purpose of guiding and stimulating the development of AIEE activities and services, the better to serve the Institute´s rapidly growing diverse membership. In September 1945 two subcommittees of the committee on planning and co-ordination—one on technical activities and one on professional activities—were appointed by President William E. Wickenden (F´39).
