IEEE Seeks Volunteers to Lead the Organization

The IEEE is calling on its members to suggest individuals who wish to take on voluntary leadership roles. This initiative aims to find motivated individuals to help achieve the goal of advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. 🎯

Leadership Positions to Be Filled

Among the most significant vacancies is the President-Elect for 2028. This person will be selected in 2027 and will begin serving in 2029. Several corporate officers for 2027 are also being sought, including the Secretary, the Treasurer, and the Vice Presidents overseeing Educational Activities and Publications. Additionally, members and chairs are needed to lead specialized technical committees.

Main Positions Available:
  • President-Elect (to assume office in 2029)
  • Corporate Secretary and Treasurer for 2027
  • Vice Presidents for areas such as Education and Publications
  • Members and chairs for specific working committees
The real challenge is not getting nominated, but explaining at the family dinner that your position as Vice President of Educational Activities doesn't come with a salary, but with the satisfaction of having reviewed thousands of technical standards.

How to Nominate and What Is Needed

Members have the opportunity to self-nominate or recommend other colleagues who meet the defined eligibility criteria. This inclusive mechanism allows dedicated experts from various fields to participate in IEEE's direction. The organization values the diversity of approaches to guide its global projects.

Requirements and Key Deadlines:
  • Members can nominate themselves or others.
  • Candidates must meet the established qualification requirements.
  • The period to submit names runs from March to June 2026.

A Commitment to the Technological Future

Participating in IEEE governance represents a unique opportunity to influence the global direction of technology. It is a commitment based on voluntary contribution and passion for generating a positive impact through technical knowledge and collaboration. 🤝
