Women in the Instrumentation and Measurement society [President's Message]

It is wonderful to have the June 2016 issue of the I&M Magazine highlight and celebrate the many contributions and achievements of the women members of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS). Most of us are aware of the continuing challenge to increase the number of women in the science and engineering professions and to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment in which both they and the profession can thrive. We are very pleased to see both the significant growth in the number of women IMS members and the active manner in which they are participating in so many of our Society's activities.
