The
12th Annual SET Congressional Visits Day On
1-2 May, U.S. IEEE members joined with like-minded members of the science, engineering and
technology (SET) community in visits to congressional
offices at the nation's Capitol complex in Washington, D.C.
Participants in the
two-day event were there to remind lawmakers on that balanced federal investment in science,
engineering and technology is fundamental to the future of
our nation's prosperity; and effective competitiveness and
innovation policies will sustain U.S. technological
leadership and encourage the development of a skilled,
creative and competitive workforce.
IEEE members visited
the offices of members of Congress, where they met with
key staff to discuss the importance of balanced and sustained federal
investment.
