IPC Designers Council Membership

Membership with the Designers Council is encouraged as higher enrollment increases our support from IPC corporate. Enrollment is free and there is no charge for renewals. Designers simply need to respond to annual requests for confirmation of contact information. All of this can be done online by going to http://dc.ipc.org/html/default.htm. Remember to affiliate with the RTP Chapter.

To compensate for changes made by IPC, we are charging all members as well as non-members $5 for each meeting attended. Since we normally have five regular meetings each year, the maximum you would pay annually for five dinners and technical presentations would only be $25, still only half of the old annual membership fee.

Our goals in making this change are to continuing to keep the quality of the dinners and speakers as high as possible and to keep our major annual event, PCB Carolina, free to all attendees. Funding the chapter through meetings fees also prevents us from having to hold fund raising activities throughout the year.
