Welcome to the Israel IEEE EMC Chapter
The Israel IEEE EMC Chapter Past, Present and
Future

Israel IEEE EMC Chapter - The Beginning

• The Israel IEEE EMC Chapter was founded in1982
  by two prominent persons
• Mr. Rafi Rubinstein
• Mr. Oren Hartal
• The first IEEE EMC Chapter outside the USA!
• Mr. Elya Joffe elevated the Chapter to its
  present status
• The first Chapter organizing the International
  IEEE EMC Symposium (May 2003) outside the USA!

Israel IEEE EMC Chapter - The Early Days

• Since its founding, the Chapters membership was
  20 all of which IEEE members
• Activities include
• 2-3 annual (technical) meetings
• One Full day, and
• 2 technical sessions within other meetings
• Elections, every two, three years Moshe Netzer
  has been re-elected as Chairman, 2007
• No open-to-the-public activities
• The Chapter served its membership!
