Frequently Asked Questions

I want to use the Division X Director position to improve the return on member investment, broaden IEEE’s membership base, and advance technology for humanity. I am committed to collaborating with Division X Societies and Councils on initiatives benefiting IEEE including the following, which are my priority goals.

· Improve IEEE’s search capability, so that IEEE customers (members and others) can more quickly find the information they require. This capability is needed when using both XPLORE and the IEEE website. This initiative requires collaboration between staff and volunteer experts. As former Chair of the Thesaurus Editorial Board, I have background to support this.

· Provide Industry professionals with trusted technical information (technology, methods, and processes that are proven to work), to foster their career advancement. IEEE Societies and Councils will benefit from the expanded industry membership base. A more informed industry will improve global economic growth.

· Continue to expand Open Access while supporting our traditional publishing models. Open Access is beneficial to scientific advancement and is necessary for moving science forward, especially in countries with developing economies.
