MEET OUR PAST CHAIRS

The Washington DC Chapter 48 of SME was chartered in 1942, just ten years after the Society itself was founded. There have been hundreds of technical meetings and executive committee meetings, and many conferences held in the ensuing years. In order to provide these activities, your chapter executive committees have contributed tens of thousands of staff hours. Although we cannot possibly list the hundreds of committee members that made all of that possible, the following is a list of the 60 Chairs of Washington DC Chapter 48 who have led those many loyal volunteers in that good work.
