Dear MEMS researchers,

We are in the process of establishing a new technical MEMS division
in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Your support is
greatly appreciated. We are contacting people for endorsement (internationally)
and gathering signatures for petition (see signature forms below).
Please send your comments and/or supports to any member of the organizing
group. If you are interested in actively helping this effort, please feel
free to contact us.

Organizing meeting:
