Call for History Column Editor and Articles

The Systems Council Life Member Committee is seeking individuals interested in historical accounts or biographical sketches about events or individuals that shaped the field of systems engineering. The initial intent is to develop a History Column for the Newsletter. If this initiative stimulates sufficient interest, it might evolve into the creation of a Systems Council History Committee. Members interested in this activity should contact the Systems Council Life Member Committee Chair, Walt Downing.
