The mission of the NY Chapter Members In Transition (MIT) Committee is to provide a base for networking and a forum for lectures and the presentation of other information useful to members in transition. We have an ongoing Listserv that notifies members of Committee meetings, lectures, job opportunities and other information that may be of interest.
