Ender Ayanoglu
Candidate's Statement
My goals are to ensure that ComSoc has the highest professional impact and broadest possible participation. We should make sure ComSoc publications go through the best quality review process within the shortest possible time and have the highest possible impact. We should make Web-based publications, tutorials, and short courses widely available to our members. In addition, we should broaden the scope of participation in ComSoc by increasing global membership, diversity, and engagement of students and industry. During my term, I will work towards these goals with as much input as possible from ComSoc's membership. My background in both industry and academia, and a long history of ComSoc service makes me well-qualified to accomplish these goals.
