Acoustical Society of America, North Carolina Chapter

Acoustical Society of America, North Carolina Chapter Established in 1966, we are a regional chapter of Acoustical Society of America. We serve North and South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee regions. C.

On October 28, 1965, ten interested individuals met on the campus of North Carolina State University at Raleigh to discuss the possibility of establishing a North Carolina Acoustical Society. So began the minutes of the organizational meeting of our chapter as written by our first Secretary-Treasurer, Grady Thomas. Those ten came from N. State University, the University of North Carolina, Duke Uni

versity, Bowman-Gray School of Medicine, and the Long Engineering Company. The meeting was arranged by Larry Royster who was elected the first Chairman. The following spring, the first technical meeting was held in the Amphitheater of the Bowman-Gray School of Medicine in Winston-Salem. Membership in the chapter grew rapidly in the 1970β€²s and 80β€²s, spurred by interest in industrial noise control to meet OSHA requirements. Meetings during this period were usually spread over two days. They often drew between 80 and 100 attendees, and 14 to 17 exhibitors. The membership peaked at over 240 members in the late 1980β€²s.
