August AdCom

The SSCS AdCom met 26 August 2002 in San Francisco, California. Much of the action supported chapters and conferences. Applications for subsidies for 19 chapters, totaling $16,000 were approved. Loans were approved for fully sponsored Society meetings, the Custom Integrated Circuits Conference in the fall, the Symposium on VLSI Circuits in June, and the Solid-State Circuits Technology Committee Workshops held twice a year (in February and the fall). Technical cosponsorship was approved for ESSCIRC, BCTM, and GaAsIC. Bryan Ackland was appointed as an official SSCS representative to DAC. Email distribution of the Society newsletter was approved.
