LEOS shall advance the interests of its members and the laser, optoelectronics, and photonics professional community by:

· providing opportunities for information exchange, continuing education, and professional growth;

· publishing journals, sponsoring conferences, and supporting local chapter and student activities;

· formally recognizing the professional contributions of members;

· representing the laser, optoelectronics, and photonics community and serving as its advocate within the IEEE, the broader scientific and technical community, and society at large.

The globalization of LEOS continued in 1996 with an additional two chapters in Europe and with 45% of the LEOS membership now residing outside the US. To effectively serve this increasing global membership, the volunteer VP structure was modified to include three VPs for Membership and Regional Activities: Americas; Europe, Middle East, Africa; Asia & Pacific. A chapter angel program was initiated, in which each member of the Board of Governors (BoG) was assigned two or more chapters, with the intent that the BoG member be a communication link with the chapter and provide advice and counsel. The first LEOS CD-ROM product was introduced in 1996 and contained the full contents of the 1995 LEOS journals.

The first decade of the LEOS Annual Meeting was celebrated in San Francisco in 1997 and 1998 witnessed several initiatives to improve service to LEOS members and the technical community worldwide. The LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship Program was launched and the 50th LEOS chapter (Ukraine) was formed. To underscore the rapid growth of LEOS membership in Europe and the Pacific Rim, receptions for LEOS members were held in conjunction with CLEO-Europe (Glasgow) and the European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC) in Madrid. Because both were enthusiastically received, the Board of Governors approved the funds to continue these in 1999 with receptions at CLEO-Pacific Rim and ECOC. In 1998, the BOG also decided to hold its first meeting outside of North America in Nice, France in 2000. As a member service, the presentations of the Plenary speakers at the LEOS Annual were videotaped and made available on the LEOS Web site.

Under the leadership of Hans Melchior in 1999 and Gordon Day in 2000, LEOS moved into the new millennium. The Board of Governors adopted a new mission statement (see page 2), focused on increasing services to members and the professional community, worldwide.
