| It's Official -- The Detroit Tri-State Chapter
is now the Michigan Chapter
During 2006 INCOSE U.S. Region IV
management
completed a restructuring of Chapter
geographic lines. At this time Detroit Tri-State INCOSE members
who lived in Ohio
and Indiana were reassigned to new local Chapters in their home states.
The result of this change was that the Detroit Tri-State Chapter consisted
solely of INCOSE members residing in Michigan, making the "Tri-State"
part of the Chapter name somewhat of a misnomer. The name "Detroit Chapter" was considered
but it was felt that this would alienate the nearly 50% of our members who do
not live or work in the immediate Detroit area. Substantial numbers of
members live on the west side of the state (e.g., Grand Rapids), the Ann Arbor
area and north of the Metro Detroit. On November 15, 2006 the name "Michigan
Chapter" was formally adopted. |
