IEEE Centennial Proclamation

The concerns of the members of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, as we are about to enter our second century, may be summarized as Innovation, Exchange, Excellence, and Education, the initial letters of which, when taken together form the acronym IEEE. We recognize and appreciate the dedication to public service so often demonstrated by government and industry leaders. As we enter our second century of service, we pledge to continue the heritage of the outstanding achievers of our first century, which we call ``The Century of Electrical Progress.´´ We pledge ourselves to continue to improve the quality of life for all mankind.???Impact, June 1984
