On July 18, our general meeting, held at Tektronix in Beaverton, featured Gil White from DDI presenting "Impedance Design Considerations". DDI also sponsored a great pizza lunch! This program opened the dialog of the many considerations for controlling impedance as well as the connection with trace width, placement and via interaction. Other chapters should consider inviting Gil to share his wealth of knowledge!

August 9 will feature our annual program planning meeting and BBQ to be held at Barbara Hill's home. During this meeting, along with our regular business and reporting, we will plan our 2007 our calendar of events including possible locations and featured speakers.  If you would like to be involved in future planning, please feel free to join the next board meeting! To attend RSVP via our website.
