A SPEC board member, Aaron Cragin was involved in many initiatives in 2023, including his ongoing role of assistant treasurer. In this role, Aaron took on the responsibility to help evaluate the financial state of EEMBC during the discovery phase of the recent merger activity between SPEC and EEMBC. He worked tirelessly with EEMBC board representatives and their accountant to ensure all the financial documentation was in order, and he created a spreadsheet overview that was very helpful in determining the initial dues of the new Embedded Group.
