Once Upon a Standard: The Story of the IEEE Standards Association
March 21 presentation on IEEE Standards; “Once Upon a Standard: The Story of the IEEE Standards Associationâ€
When people think of standards – if they think of them at all – they often think “boring†or “political†or “who cares?†But the story of standards is far from one that puts you to sleep. The value of standards to modern life is immeasurable. The process for creating them is actually multi-faceted and interesting. The IEEE Standards Association, a producer of global standards, has been in the standards business for 100 years. Karen Bartleson, President-Elect of the IEEE-Standards Association, will tell you the story of the IEEE-SA and give you an appreciation of the Association's scope of effort, its roles and responsibilities, its standards-development process, and how our local engineers can get involved. The first 30 people who attend this session will receive a complimentary copy of Karen’s short book, “The Ten Commandments for Effective Standardsâ€.
Attendance to the meeting is FREE to IEEE members as well as non-members. Pizza and sodas will be available: Free to IEEE members, $5 for non-members. The location is Agilent Technologies, 1900 Garden of the Gods, Lobby “C†Entrance.
