IEEE support of the UEC fund campaign

Abstract

Summary form only given, as follows. On behalf of the IEEE Board of Directors, I wish to recommend that all IEEE members support the campaign to complete the United Engineering Center. IEEE occupies two and one-half floors of this beautiful building, which houses our editorial operations, the secretariats of the Professional Technical Groups and the Technical Operations Committee and the office of the General Manager. The Center also provides excellent air-conditioned facilities for our committee meetings, with convenient food service. Many of our members contributed in the initial campaign, and we urge them to make a supplementary contribution. The majority of the membership have not previously had the opportunity to contribute to this cause, and we are sure that these members will welcome the opportunity to take part. An average contribution in excess of US$1.00 per member is necessary to meet the campaign objectives. Since about 40 per cent of the membership participated in the previous campaign, individual contributions of $5.00, or more, are indicated as a guide to those members who wish to participate. A message from Dr, Kelly, who heads the campaign, will be sent to each member when he receives his bill for next year's dues, and contributions to the fund can be made at that time. The success of the campaign depends in large part on our response. Your contributions, which are tax deductible, will help complete a most important facility for the use of our profession.
