Abstract :
Stan Schuster and Steven Garverick were honored at the SSCS Administrative Committee meeting last February for serving as co-chairs of the Solid-State Circuits Technology Workshop program for close to a decade, going back to the days when the Society existed as a Council. The workshops, scheduled twice a year, were designed as small gatherings on a specific technical area, often an emerging technology, to ensure that dialog among participants was a primary feature. Workshops left the spark of ideas in participants´ minds and sometimes the vision of the depth of challenges before them, but never in a published proceedings — you had to be there. Programs of some past workshops are still listed in the history section on the Society´s Web pages.
