6 Welcome! Welcome to IPC's new member publication, IPC Community! This quarterly magazine was created for you to meet your needs for information on manufacturing and management best practices and solutions, emerging technologies, IPC standards, government relations and environment, health and safety issues, industry intel- ligence, advanced packaging, sustainability, and more. The name "Community" refers to all of us—the global team of electronics manufactur- ers throughout the vast, international supply chain. IPC Community is our way of honoring and serving that con- nection, that community of individuals who share the same goal and who work together to build electronics better. Just like the electrical connections that power the products we make or design, the connections between us in this large industry are what make it unique. What affects a small compa- ny in Asia has a ripple effect on larg- er companies in Europe, in the same way that supply chain difficulties in the U.S. affect our members in India. The issues we face, the challeng- es we share, and the victories we achieve are what connect us to a broader, international community. This magazine is meant to ac- knowledge the incredible work that you do, and the unique roles you play in building better elec- tronics across the globe. COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS By John W. Mitchell, IPC President and CEO
