At a joint Japan-United States conference held at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina, U. S. A., on November 14 and 15, 1985, a proposal was presented to the Americans suggesting the formation of a Society that would include in its charter a liaison with the Japan Society of Precision Engineering. The Americans present appointed an informal organizing committee with a directive to determine the interest in such a Society and to propose a method for its formation if sufficient interest was found.
The committee drafted and circulated a questionnaire. The results indicated sufficient interest to form a new, independent American Society of precision Engineering. A non-profit corporation has been established and the first conference was organized and held on November 5, 6 and 7, 1986, in Dallas, Texas. Concurrently, an invitation for applications for charter membership was circulated which has resulted in approximately one hundred charter members. The informal organizing committee disbanded at the Dallas Conference and was replaced by an elected interim Board of Directors. Another conference is scheduled for November 4, 5, and 6, 1987, in Columbus, Ohio, at which time it is planned to elect a permanent Board and officers and adopt a constitution.
