Chronology
The Phoenix Section started operations in 1941. Its "birthday" is March 22 (IEEE Geographic Unit Organizing Document - Phoenix). At that time IEEE was known as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE). On January 10, 1951, the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) also established a Phoenix Section (IRE Phoenix Section Formation Letter). AIEE and IRE merged in 1963 to form the IEEE.

Old officer roster documents: IRE and IEEE Phoenix Section Officers 1951-1974, Phoenix Section Officers 1975-1979. From 1951 to 1957 the IRE Phoenix Section Chairs and Secretaries were also listed in the Institute/IRE News and Radio Notes that appeared in certain issues of the Proceedings of the IRE (1951 example).
The first IRE Phoenix Section Chair, Gerald C. Rich, filed the patents "Semi-Conductor Unit" and "Transistor Unit" in 1953 that indicate he was working for Motorola at the time.
Mike Andrews recalls that he was Region 6 Southwest Area Chair when Earl Robbins was Section Chair in 1982. In the 1970s Section meetings were held at a restaurant near Central & Indian School Rd. The Section bank account was with Valley National Bank.
