Each of us have “our” reasons to join or renew our IEEE membership, we see something in IEEE and IEEE-USA that reflects our interests and engages us. Those interests change throughout the lifecycle of membership (grade school to retirement).
IEEE-USA has helped members build careers with professional activities and the career web site as our interests change and we move through our lifecycle.
- We must take charge of our career by investing to stay technically and professionally current. We need to be active in our society interests or in our professional soft skills
- You and I must build a professional network whether face to face at local meetings, MemberNet or LinkedIn.
- We can expect multiple careers- moving to a new job, taking a new assignment, moving into consulting, or creating our own business. IEEE-USA has volunteers and programs in areas that will support us as we make those moves. IEEE-USA must continue building on those strengths, utilizing knowledge and technology to get support to members quickly, inexpensively and timely.
- All of us in technology have a responsibility to lend our support to public policy; policy decisions must be informed and non partisan. IEEE-USA has provided advice and counsel so our legislators have the understanding necessary to make good decisions in policy.
If elected, I will provide leadership, but IEEE-USA needs your engagement as a participant, a volunteer or by being informed.
Please support me by becoming more involved- start by voting.
