The Founders of Montreal Conferences Inc.

Between 2002 and 2004, Montreal Conferences Inc. (MCI) merged with the IEEE Canadian Foundation. At that time, two former and highly regarded members of the board, H.S. Lunan† and L.F. Ruggins were contacted to obtain their approval before formerly proceeding with the merger. They are seen here at the 2002 Montreal Section annual banquet. MCI ran conferences every other year, starting in 1960 until about 1987, alternating with the IEEC Inc. conference. Click here to view a photograph of the first five conference chairs.
