Reflections on the IAS 60th Anniversary [History]

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS), I asked the past presidents from the last decade to dig into their history attics and provide us with brief histories from their administrations. Their dedicated leadership and exemplary support from multitudes of volunteers continued to provide the IAS membership with outstanding educational and professional opportunities. As you read these historical perspectives, keep in mind the importance to you of how these presidents’ stories impacted your own memories of this past decade.—Barry Brusso
