Forty IEEE members joined the 270 scientists and engineers participating in the 2010 Science, Engineering and Technology Congressional Visits Day, which was held on 28-29 April in Washington. CVD provides an opportunity for U.S. IEEE members to interact with their representatives in Congress on issues related to R&D, innovation and U.S. technological competitiveness. IEEE members participated in a total of 72 congressional visits to encourage federal investments in research and development. During the CVD reception, IEEE-USA President Evelyn Hirt presented U.S. Representatives David Wu, Chair, Subcommittee on Technology & Innovation, House Committee on Science & Technology; and Ralph Hall, Ranking Member, House Committee on Science & Technology, with the George E. Brown, Jr. Memorial Award for Science, Engineering and Technology Leadership.
