Two SSCS Chapters honored their past Chairs this summer and fall.
Professor Chorng-Kuang Wang, the 1998-2000 Taipei Chapter Chair, was honored at the annual August meeting of the Chapter in Hsin-Chu County. Jieh-Tsorng Wu, the current Chapter Chair, thanked Professor C.K. Wang for his contributions and presented him with the IEEE pin for past Chapter Chair.
Professor Nikolai N. Voitovich was honored at the closing ceremony of DIPED. DIPED is the West Ukraine Chapter Seminar and Workshop on Direct and Inverse Problems of Electromagnetic and Acoustic Wave Theory held 18-20 September. Dr. Mykhaylo I. Andriychuk, the new Chair of the SSCS West Ukraine Chapter, presented a pin and certificate of appreciation to Professor Voitovich. Professor Voitovich was the organizer and the first Chair of the West Ukraine Chapter. Thanks to his efforts, the Chapter was recognized as the 1999 Outstanding Chapter by the IEEE Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology Society. Voitovich continues to be involved in many of the Chapter's activities.
The Society encourages chapters to honor the volunteers who serve local Chapters. The job of a Chapter Chair includes organizing and publicizing local programs and guest speakers. Other SSCS Chapters interested in honoring past or outgoing Chairs may contact Linda Barankovich at the Society's Executive Office: Lbaranko@ieee.org.
