I am fully committed to serve our community, with strategic vision and guidance, encouraging participation, galvanizing enthusiasm, and catalyzing the rich and diverse competences and aspirations of members and volunteers. I envision a holistic view for One IEEE while nurturing the local communities. An IEEE in which everybody finds value and feels proud to be. An IEEE by people for people. ---------- QUALIFICATIONS I started volunteering for IEEE when I was a young student, 34 years ago. Since then, I have been involved in a large spectrum of IEEE activities, including members services, technical committees, conferences, publications, education, people networking, management, finances, and strategic planning. I have served on the Technical Activities Board and the Publication Services and Products Board as well as on their Committees, and on Committees of the Member and Geographic Activities Board, the Educational Activities Board, and the IEEE. I have served as IEEE Vice President for Technical Activities and as a member of the IEEE Board of Directors for four years. My long-lasting volunteer service has given me a broad and deep experience in IEEE and has made me very sensitive to the needs and aspirations of all IEEE members and volunteers. I believe that I have the experience and competence to lead our activities, engaging all IEEE members and volunteers, working together for the benefit of our scientific and professional community. ---------- When distributing this message, please remember that IEEE policy does not allow distribution of election campaign messages to IEEE emailing lists and IEEE social networks (you can reach people individually or via other emailing lists and social networks where such posting is allowed). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
