Dear Global PES Community:
IEEE PES is the leading organization for power and energy professionals in the world. And it’s because of our members. We have made significant progress in bringing forth new ideas to leadership. We launched open applications for any of our members to be considered for the IEEE PES Governing Board. Candidates were interviewed and selected on the basis of their ideas and the energy they contributed to strengthening our organization. Because of this shift, we now have more new members on the board from all around the world, whose impacts are already beginning to be felt.
We need to build upon this success and welcome more ideas, energy, skill sets and talent within the leadership of our organization, so we can continue to execute PES’s strategic plan and mission.
We encourage you to submit your name, or the names of those you believe are qualified to be a volunteer leader of IEEE PES, for both the elected and appointed positions. Thank you for your participation and voice.
In Partnership,
Shay Bahramirad, PhD
