The agenda for the 2026 White Pin Reunion Social will be:
- Welcome
- White Pin introduction and brief history
- Inductee introductions: name, company, ERA chapter, state
- Inductee pinning with sponsors
- Formal inductee oath (If time allows, we may include the song—but most likely not this year.)
- New White Pin Member Auction (Each inductee will auction an item representing their home state. Due to time constraints, each auction will be limited to a few minutes.We may open an online pre-auction to help streamline the process.)
- Closing remarks and thank you
Be ready to bid and win…while enjoying a memorable evening with your fellow volunteers who have given so much to ERA and the electronics industry. We look forward to seeing you there!
