12 PCB007 MAGAZINE I NOVEMBER 2024 became chair of the committee over the Pro- fessional Education (PE) subcommittee, and was a member of the Technical Activities Exec- utive Committee (TAEC). She also served a two-year tenure as chair of the TAEC, con- sidered a top volunteer position at IPC. Later, when the glass reinforcement subcommittee/ task group had a stalled round-robin testing program, Patty was asked to chair the group to get it moving. One of Patty's many significant contributions was reducing the length of the normally drawn-out TAEC meetings in half by using a focused agenda. Patty has been a significant contributor to I-Connect007. She is the former managing editor of PCB007 Magazine and has offered her talents and expertise for many years, pro- viding excellent show coverage through her interviews and special event write-ups at IPC APEX EXPO. You may not always agree with her viewpoint, but you can bet that you will respect, and oen ask for, her opinion. Patty received the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame Award in 2015. PCB007
