Fifteen years ago, when we launched In Compliance Magazine, we could never have imagined the incredible journey awaiting us. Born out of a dream shared by three determined women, In Compliance has grown from a fledgling publication to a respected and influential voice in the world of electronics compliance engineering.
As we celebrate this milestone anniversary and the publication of our 16th August issue, I reflect on the challenges we’ve faced and the triumphs we’ve achieved along the way. When Conformity closed its doors in March 2009, it felt like a tragic loss. But that setback turned out to be the fertile ground in which we sowed the seeds of our dream.

Over the past 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of covering the latest updates on global standards to evolving practices in electronics design for compliance. We’ve delved into the benefits of becoming a certified engineer and pondered the development of standards and certification in today’s society. And, of course, we’ve always made sure to sprinkle in a dash of joy and magic along the way because we believe that being an engineer should be as fun as it is rewarding.
As for the future, we remain committed to being at the forefront of sharing the vast body of knowledge built by exceptional engineers who have dedicated their careers to the pursuit of excellence in the field of electronics compliance engineering.
To our valued readers, advertisers, authors, and supporters: Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Your contributions, encouragement, feedback, and support spur us forward, and we are profoundly grateful.
Here’s to the next 15 years of In Compliance Magazine – may they be filled with even more growth, discovery, and inspiration!
In gratitude,
Lorie Nichols
