More touch points (Memphis style) ...

Congratulations to the team in the Memphis Section who have just formed two new affinity groups to serve their members:

• Women in Engineering
• GOLD

We wish these new units well and hope that they will engage additional members in IEEE for the benefit of IEEE, the profession, and the members.
