In sightly over two years, the Materials Research Society has grown from an organization with a membership of 1,500 to a joint member/professional staff operated Society which offers services such as two international annual meetings, an equipment exhibit, 50 proceedings volumes, extensive short course program, and an archival journal. The membership now exceeds 3,500 world wide and supports the activities of similar materials research groups in Europe, Asia, Australia and elsewhere. Since the appointment of John B. Ballance as executive director for the Society in October 1983, six additional people have joined the staff with special skills to enable the Officers, Councillors, and members to rapidly implement many of the new activities reported during the past year. We invite you to become acquainted with the MRS staff members and contact them to convey your ideas or to volunteer your expertise to enhance MRS's current membership activities. If you are attending the Fall Meeting in Boston, look for staff members in the Registration area and introduce yourself.
