Position Statement

Over the past 25 years, I have been actively participating in numerous ComSoc activities, including in journal editorship, conference organization, and leadership to technical committees. I intend to continue to serve and if elected I will work hard to:

  • Promote diversity within ComSoc in leadership and volunteering positions. Provide equal opportunities irrespective of age, gender, ethnic background, and geographic region.
  • Provide additional venues for emerging and disruptive new technologies and promote the impact of communications technology in other application domains.
  • Make ComSoc publications more affordable and accessible including more free and open source contents
  • Empower the local ComSoc chapters’ engagement with universities, local industries, and government agencies by proposing incentives.

Above all, I will work very hard to ensure ComSoc at the forefront of communications technology and provide value to our members’ professional careers. As your representative, I will ensure that your voice will be heard at the BoG meetings.
