Joining Hands With Other IEEE Societies and Councils [President’s Column]

As you probably know, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) is part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE is the largest professional association for electronics and electrical engineering in the world, and includes 39 technical societies and seven technical councils, representing a wide range of IEEE technical interests. The MTT-S consistently ranks among the largest IEEE societies, usually the fifth or sixth largest in terms of membership, and its prominence underscores not just the size of our discipline, but the significant standing and positive reputation of our community within the IEEE.
