Election of PES Officers
Later this year the voting membership of
the IEEE Power &
Energy Society (PES) will have the opportunity to elect our future
leadership.
The offices of president-elect, secretary, and treasurer for the period
2010–2011 will be decided. Two candidates, nominated by the PES
Nominations and Appointments Committee, chaired by past President John
McDonald, and approved by the Governing Board, are contesting each
office.
Their photos, bios, and candidate statements are
available.
The successful candidates will serve for
the period
2010–2011.
Voting members of
the Power & Energy Society may, by
petition, propose names to be added to the ballot for these offices.
Details
for this procedure and qualifications for proposed candidates may be
found in
the PES Bylaws. To be eligible for nomination to the office of
president-elect,
the nominee shall have served as a member of the PES Governing Board in
some
capacity for at least two years. More information is available.
Further details will
follow in ensuing e-Newsletters and
in IEEE Power & Energy Magazine.
