The AES is the Audio Engineering Society, a national professional society dedicated to all aspects of audio engineering. (see mission statement, above) Visit their website. The Audio Engineering Society encompasses the following activities:
The PNW section is a recognized, officially sanctioned local section of the Audio Engineering Society. We are dependent on the national society for funding and rely on local volunteers for Section personnel. These people plan and hold the local section meetings. They also represent the local section at the national society’s conventions.
We’re a medium-sized section, but we’re active. We try to hold meetings loosely within the framework of the traditional school year: September to June.
The Section Officers handle the day-to-day business of running the Section and they, with the assistance of the Committee, produce and present the Section Meetings and other activities. For more information, click here.
If you have a meeting idea, help us organize it. If you’d like to work ‘backstage’, let us know and we’ll get you added to the Committee (via election, June). If you’d like to serve as a Section officer, again, let us know. You must be an AES member (any grade) to participate as a committee member or section officer. You may also nominate yourself at election time in June.
Our section operates according to bylaws passed down by AES HQ, and (over the years) modified slightly to suit the way we operate. The most recent version (June 2023) of the bylaws may be found here
