In Praise of Parrish

Congrats to old friend Mel Parrish, who has been named chair of the Technical Activities Executive Committee, which oversees all IPC technical programs.

This is a significant achievement. Mel, who has a long and storied history dating to the soldering schools China Lake, has spent the last several years at STI Electronics Inc., and has intimate knowledge of the IPC’s best-selling standards (IPC-A-610, IPC-A-600 and J-STD-001) and the correlated training programs.

It’s a well-deserved nod.
