IAS History
This page starts with a chronological listing of all the officers and award recipients, both Institute wide and Society wide.
The documentation on these pages comes from the 1995 supplement to the IAS Transactions titled: A History Update of the Industry Application Society published in October of 1995. The supplement comes to us via the generosity of the past editor of the IAS Magazine, Louie J. Powell Jr.
This web page will forever be under construction for the flow of history never ends, so I beg the readers to be patient as we continuously add to the page.
If you have historical information and documentation you think might be of interest to the IAS, or if you have any suggestions about this page, please feel free to contact the Society Administrator.
