Mehmet Ulema
Candidate's Statement
My primary goal is to drive ComSoc to increase the value of services to its members. If elected, I will work hard to establish ways of getting members more and more involved in the ComSoc decision-making processes. This is the only way we can “shape up” ComSoc in the directions we want toward better and more attractive publications, conferences, and educational products. I will push ComSoc to do a better job in supporting regional chapters. I will strongly get involved in ComSoc’s effort to reach for new members especially from industry.
Having worked in the industry in both technical and management positions for more than 20 years, and now in academia for about 7 years, I believe I have gained considerable experience to guide ComSoc in becoming a “lean” organization which can rapidly respond to the needs of its members, from both academia and industry.
With your vote and with your help, we can make ComSoc an even stronger Society to provide more value to its most “valued” constituents, you.
