Abstract :
An increasing number of IEEE Sections are taking advantage of the recent change in the constitution of the IEEE, and are becoming actively involved in professional activities. The Boston Section has established a Professional Activities Committee (PAC) affiliated with the IEEE United States Activity Committee (USAC). During the coming year PAC hopes to be quite active and lists at least four areas of major concern: a) Government relations b) Public relations c) Community science and technology projects d) Industrial and University relations. In the future PAC hopes to expand this list in accordance with the wishes of the section members.
