There is a tremendous resource of designers in the North Texas area which can make a very strong chapter with a diverse knowledge base. Let's unlock this valuable resource! The second chapter meeting was hosted by North Texas Circuit Board in Grand Prairie, Texas. There were eighteen people in attendence. Let's see if we can double that number in August!! Thanks to Andy White and Keith Larson from giving an excellent tour of their facility and for all the refreshments. WHAT ARE THE PARTICULARS TO JOINING? The IPC has set the guidelines for membership: $50.00 per member makes you a national member and a member of the local chapter. $20.00 of your membership fee is returned to the local chapter to help with the educational part of the council. Membership is open to PWB designers and those diciplines related to PWB design (including vendors). Either visit the IPCs web site at http://www.ipc.org then select Design and then Designers Council.
