IEEE London Fall 2015 Message from the Chair

London Section Members

Summer vacations have ended and we are starting planning Section activities for the fall and winter.  I will provide updates in a future email or you can look on our website (https://site.ieee.org/london/)

IEEE’s elections are this fall and the deadline is Oct 1.  I don’t want to miss this in the excitement of our federal election!  Please take the time to review the candidates and to vote.  Depending on your membership, you may be eligible to vote for several positions.  You should have received information from the IEEE, but can access you ballot at (http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/election/ballot_material.html).

All of you can vote for our President- Elect.  Information on the two candidates, Karen Bartleson and Frederick Mintzer, is available at (http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/election/index.html)

All of you can also vote for IEEE Canada President-Elect (and Region 7 Director-Elect).  Information on the candidates, Fernando Xavier and Maike Luiken, is available at (http://www.ieee.org/about/corporate/election/reg7.html)

I encourage you to take the time to learn about the candidates and to vote.  While all the candidates are quite capable, I’d like to provide my personal recommendation as R7 President for Maike Luiken.  She has been our Section Chair and very active on our behalf.

Looking forward to your participation in our Section activities.

Murray MacDonald
