Dr. TK Srinivas
As a newly elected section chair,
it is my privilege to look
to 2008 with the following high level goals.
- Realize
a truly collaborative environment and make volunteering a fun activity
- Energize
the section by new activities, new recruits, and more professional talks
- Increase
our interaction with IEEE Societies and leverage that to improve our
standing overall
- Begin
initiative to encourage more women to go into engineering by targeting
high schools in our area and thereby support ‘Women in
Engineering’ initiative of IEEE.
- Reach
out to many new employers in our area to expand awareness of IEEE and
our section activities.
I applaud the work of Dru
Reynolds, Manuel Fuentes, George Fortney and their committee, to bring
a Professional Development Seminar and Job Fair
to our community. They have put countless hours and I am happy that we
are off
to the 2008 year with an activity that is consistent with our goals.
