If this is your first visit, please allow me to welcome you and encourage you to look around and check it out. If you are a returning visitor, I extend the same invitation as things may have changed since your last visit.

I want to point out that the AMPRA Board of Directors is currently made up of 21 voting members and 11 Emeritus members. The names of all these individuals may be found in the About Us area on this site. Also, if you are interested, you may want to view the various Committees and learn who serves in these very important roles with the AMPRA organization.

As I am sure everyone knows, all the great events we sponsor throughout each year are the result of dedicated teamwork by all the members of the Board of Directors, including the Emeritus Members. The Program Committee does expert planning and the rest of us help in various and sundry ways. Together we all “ Make it Happen”! What AMP person has not heard that phrase before? As President, I sincerely thank everyone for their fine effort and take this opportunity to say how grateful I am to be surrounded by these dedicated and hard-working individuals.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our invitation to all AMP/Tyco Electronics Retirees to come join us at any or all the various events AMPRA sponsors each year. You may even want to submit an article to be included in News & Notes, the AMPRA newsletter. Simply put, your participation with us is welcome and it is vital to AMPRA’s continued success.

Joe Hopple, President
