News And Announcements
 
The Power Engineering Society has recognized our Phoenix PES Chapter as a "High Performing Chapter" for 2008. Some of the criteria for HPC include holding regular meetings, officers reporting chapter activities and doing their duties in a timely manner, maintaining a website, and having a GOLD program. In addition to being a HPC, our Chapter also earned Third Place in the 2008 Membership Contest. We would like to thank our officers and all of you who attend our monthly technical meetings. Without your support, we could not have earned either of these two awards. Please help us maintain the high level of activity in 2009 and beyond and continue to strengthen our chapter.
 
If you are attending a luncheon meeting at the APS Deer Valley facility, please be advised that there are enhanced security measures in place. Visitors must now park only in the lot at the northwest corner of 21st Avenue and Cheryl Drive. Check in at the security guard booth as you enter the parking area on Cheryl Drive, then you will need an APS employee to escort you to the conference room. When you use our lunch registration form, be sure to indicate your employer; that way, we know if you are not an APS employee and will need an APS escort.

Have you considered becoming a Senior Member of IEEE? It's not as difficult as you think. Basically, you need ten years of professional experience, and your bachelor degree counts for three of those years. Find out more at the IEEE Senior Member Program website.
