Board of Directors

  • Nominated and Balloted Candidate, 2023
    Elected by the worldwide IEEE membership, October 2023
    Director-Elect, 2024
    Director, 2025, 2026

    Position Statement

    Two areas are critical to keeping IEEE relevant to young professionals. First, collaboration between Societies and Boards must result in development and support of the types of cross-area platforms and products demanded by digitally native members. Our curated technical content, continuing education platforms, and servant-leadership experiences must combine into an IEEE serving its members in a digitally responsive way based on their daily needs. I will continue my documented history of bridging OUs within IEEE and work to brainstorm and implement products appealing to young professionals living the modern digital reality. Second, the membership cost structure must be realigned to reflect the new value surface created by freely available on-line information. Discounted multi-year dues, traditional annual dues, and even month-to-month dues provide flexible membership models that appeal to different types of professional members and their budgets. And tiered membership models allow members to elect a higher-priced option if it adds value to their professional development. As Division Director, I will work to encourage and develop a continuous improvement process for the IEEE membership cost structure.
