*NEW IRMMW-THz Society Formed*

The society was formed to give a permanent home to the International Organizing Committee for IRMMW-THz and to formalize the role of the IOC in maintaining the current conference series, hosting the international prize committee for the Institute of Physics Kenneth J. Button Prize, and linking technically with the Journal of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves. The role statement for the society is: "Promoting the worldwide collection, dissemination and exchange of scientific and technical knowledge in the areas and disciplines involving infrared, millimeter, and terahertz waves."
