Have you wanted to make a difference in your professional society? Here is an opportunity to contribute, to grow as a professional and network in the industry.
Every year, we elect new Section officers: chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer. In fact, due in part to networking in IEEE, we are losing some of them. So we will have more openings that usual for 2012. The nominating committee will be looking for candidates from existing Section and Chapter volunteers. Members are also encouraged to nominate others or themselves.
These jobs take 1-2 hours per week on average. The duties are described at the following links:
Those of us who have served in this offices are happy to help train our successors. There are executive committee meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, September through June.
Please contact the nominating committee members by the end of July:
We may contact you for interviews this summer. We plan to publish a slate of Nominees by September 6. We invite candidates to attend executive committee meetings on September 13. There are also provisions for petition nominations; see section 9.12 of the MGA Operations Manual.
The election will be conducted in October, for terms running for calendar 2012. Final votes will be due October 16, to be processed and announced at the Fall Banquet on October 18.
