        President's Note:

        The transition to lead-free has been called the most impor-
        tant change in electronics production since the transition
        to surface mount in 1984.  Some say it is even more signi-
        ficant considering the body of study lead based solder has
        received over the decades.  Designers have a real oppor-
        tunity to be involved in a key role in the transition, but
        it requires more understanding of situations outside the
        CAD package, like performance specifications and industry
        standards.  Your boiler plate just wore out.

        Mission:

        The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council
        is working to bring you stake holders from every discipline,
        to show you their problems and solutions so you can add to
        your arsenal of knowledge.

        Thanks and regards,
        Jeff Seeger,  CTO, Applied CAD Knowledge Inc.
        President, Greater Boston Chapter, IPC Designer's Council
