March 21, 2019 | IPC Designers Council, Cascade ChapterEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The first quarterly IPC Designers Council Chapter Meeting for 2019 will be held April 3. There are a few changes this year that should make it easier for attendees to make it to the meetings.
The meetings will still be held at Lake Washington Institute of Technology-Kirkland Campus (LWIT) but the meetings have been moved back to an evening time slot. And there is no charge for this event, although donations are greatly appreciated.
This first chapter meeting will be on Wednesday April 3, 2019 from 6-8 pm in room A102. The topic for this meeting will be a roundtable discussion with three topics chosen based on feedback from our last survey.
Discussion topics include:
- Cutting Edge Design techniques
- IPC Standards
- Materials and Processes
The Executive Board will be there to help guide and share their knowledge and experiences. The Executive Board has gathered over 100 years of experience combined, so attendees will be sure to learn something invaluable. Please join these great discussions and bring your experiences, ideas and knowledge on these topics.
Dinner is covered, so just sign up on the Cascade DC website and join your peers and co-workers.
