Systems engineers work in academia, aerospace, commercial, defense, health care, and manufac- turing; and they are employed by many local companies. INCOSE is the industry organization for systems engineers. We chartered the Wasatch chapter to provide INCOSE ser- vices to our local area. We welcome INCOSE members and non-members alike to our chapter activities. We will host the inaugural WSRC in Salt Lake City from Thursday through Saturday, September 20-22, 2018, at the Orbital ATK Conference Center in the Ogden Canyon. The conference will feature educational sessions, keynote speakers, leadership meetings, and networking events. We invite local organizations to sponsor the conference. We also invite local systems engineering professionals to deliv- er presentations or attend the conference. For more information about INCOSE, you may go to www. incose.org.
