A Canadian Society with an International Presence: The Role of the CSCE's International Affairs Committee (IAC)

摘要

INTRODUCTION The International Affairs Committee (IAC) represents and promotes the interests of the CSCE outside of Canada. It arose from informal meetings held by CSCE members with foreign engineering societies, such as the 1981 meeting with the China Civil Engineering Society of Dr. Leslie Jaeger and Dr. Moe Cheung, who were in China attending a structural engineering conference. For over two decades, IAC has been one of the most active and influential CSCE project committees, due greatly to its dedicated chairpersons and volunteer members. The purpose of this article is to review IAC's mandate, operations, past accomplishments, and future direction.
