IEEE Milwaukee Section History
A Few Notes from the Minutes of Past Meetings:
1940 - 1960 Meetings were typically held at:The Allen-Bradley Auditorium
The Schlitz Brown BottleThe Pabst Blue Ribbon HallThe Blatz Auditorium
2000 - 2009 Meetings were typically held at:The Miller InnMilwaukee School of Engineering
Also noted in the Minutes from the 1950’s:“It is a waste of time for these busy men,
and also for group members, if the attendance to the lectures is poor.”

A Few Notes from the Minutes of Past Meetings:
Note - Gender was Exclusive in 1940’s - Inclusive in 2009
From the Minutes:“A member who has developed a new technical idea can present it among men who have a sufficiently good background to offer constructive criticism.”
1990’s changes to Inclusive Language:
“Chairperson” and “Drafter”
