The IRE "Affiliate" Plan--A New Venture in Engineering Society Structure and Service (Correspondence)

On January 4, 1957, the IRE Board of Directors arrived at a decision which may in time prove to be one of the most far-reaching in its 45-year history. On that date the Board adopted a plan which will enable non-IRE members whose main professional interests lie outside the sphere of IRE activities to become affiliated with certain of the IRE Professional Groups without first having to join the IRE itself.
