Position Statement

IEEE Communications Society should play a pivotal role in empowering its members in an open, neutral, and all-inclusive manner so they can contribute towards the advancement of technology for humanity in a collaborative way.

If elected to serve, I will work with my IEEE colleagues, staff, and fellow volunteers across the world to focus on developing these core values.

  • Innovate and implement the concept, “Globally means doing locally everywhere” by engaging local industry, academic, and government around the world.
  • Engage and empower the members at the grass root level so they can contribute their best efforts towards the advancement of humanity using the Communications Society as a platform.
  • Enhance IEEE-Industry relationships that will help drive the membership growth and professional growth of the Industry members.
  • Expand ComSoc’s collaboration with other IEEE entities such as IEEE Standards Association, MGA, EAB, and TAB to deliver continual excellence through member engagement and enrichment.
