President's Note:
While we are very grateful to Lockheed for many years of use
of their cafeteria, that space is no longer available to us.
Therefore we've arranged for a hotel type of situation, which
we hope will suit the group for some time to come. While we've
kept the meeting costs as low as possible, we do need to work
with RSVP's to make sure we have enough space and food. Here's
hoping the group can work with the RSVP commitment in a very
much "last minute" design world.
I am personally very grateful for much help from the steering
committee, most notably Judy Horn, in finding this reasonably
priced meeting venue. It has made for a difficult season, in
needing to find a "new home" for the group. I hope you will
all work with me to make the new format work out, and allow
a fresh season of informative meetings to proceed.
Mission:
Design is not called "do" for a reason. Done properly, the
design process is a creative problem solving discipline. To
address the packaging needs of electronics for today and to-
morrow, the physical designer needs an avenue to get exposed
and familiar with many different techniques and technologies.
The Greater Boston Chapter of the IPC Designer's Council is
committed to presenting stake holders from every aspect of the
packaging realm. Our hope is to help you gain insight and un-
derstanding of the many possibilities in solving core problems.
Your help and participation are most welcome.
Thanks and regards,
