Abstract :
The Santa Clara Valley Chapter, the first SSCS chapter, will receive the Outstanding Chapter Award next February at the ISSCC. Jan Van der Spiegel, the SSCS Chapters Coordinator, noted that the SCV Chapter had been “consistently active” since its inception in 1997 with an “impressive list of monthly speakers.” The chapter has organized Short Courses and has reached out to local members and students, as reported in the SSC Newsletter, July 2004.
