Abstract :
So much could be said about our Professional Group, its purposes, it goals, its responsibilities, and its contributions to the engineering fraternity. But during this year of 1962–1963 two things seem to be of outstanding importance. One is the function of PGEWS in terms of our own membership. The second is our future in terms of the imminent mergers and consolidations of corresponding professional groups as IRE and AIEE combine to produce IEEE. I would like to dwell on each of these subjects for a few moments.
