2009 – 2010 IEEE Officer Nominees

 

 

Running for the position of:

 

Chair

 

Martin Guirguis

“I would like to start my introduction with a quote by John F. Kennedy. “…ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.”  This quote has been used in several occasions, I believe this is the perfect occasion to ask yourselves, ask not what your IEEE organization can do for you- ask what you can do for IEEE!

            And now without any further ado let me introduce myself, my name is Martin Guirguis. I am an Electrical Engineering student. I would like to talk about my experiences that qualify me to run for the Chairman position.  In the past two years I was the IEEE NATCAR team lead, and both years were successful. I had a great experience owning and operating my own security surveillance company. Currently I am interning for the Boeing Research & Technology Center. I believe that the aforementioned experiences have prepared me to improve IEEE in the upcoming year. Some of my own goals and vision for IEEE are, to increase membership and awareness of IEEE. I also want to increase the support from Faculty and IEEE department, to create a strong Student and Faculty relation. And finally I want to expose our students to the professional world of engineering. To close, I would like to thank you for participating in the improvement of the CSULB IEEE Chapter and the elections.”

 

 

Sandra Hernandez

“MONEY MONEY!  I hope that got your attention!  Hi Everyone,  My name
is Sandra, and I would like to be your next IEEE Chapter Chair for the
year 09/10.  I have been an active member for two years and am
currently Co-Vice-Chair.  Apart from helping secure funds ($3.5K) from
our region section this year, I have personally been involved in the
planning of S-PAC, Kaleidoscope, Welcome Week, Student/Faculty Mixer,
GB Meetings, and Workshops.  As Chair, I have exciting plans for the
upcoming year!!!!!!!  I want to create a LEGACY for the most involved
group in the engineering department.  I think that we have an
exceptional group of members whose interests have been neglected by
our department and my goal is to change that.  I want to reach out to
members and create a nurturing family that will enable professional
growth and create friendships that will last us for a long time.  As
plans go,  I am personally talking to our chair/dean to try to obtain
us a larger office where students can come and use equipment for their
class labs and projects.  I want to reach out to more companies to
help us get funding, because lets face it, MONEY is what engineers
really WANT!  I want to create technical workshops to reach out to all
our new incoming members.  I believe this builds awareness and helps
create new leaders.  I'm responsible, trustworthy, and I'm dedicated.
Please choose me as the next Chair, I'm looking forward to working
with the next incoming officers.  I want to make a difference!!!!
(and get us a lot more money).”

 

 

 

Vice-Chair

 

Dustin Sova

 

“I have been a member of IEEE for 2 years now, I joined the club my first semester here at CSULB.  I have been involved in many of the events and activities that have taken place over the last two years and truly enjoy being involved.  Currently, I hold the position of Food service engineer and am the main reason why the snack shack is still running.  I have learned from this position and want to do more.  I plan on performing all duties entrusted to me if elected to the greatest of my ability.  I am very dedicated and feel I would make a great Vice Chair.  My goals are to be involved in as many of the events and activities as I can. As for the IEEE, my goals are to continue the tradition of excellence put forth by previous boards.”

 

 

Secretary

 

Carol Asher

 

“I am currently a student at CSULB and I am an active member of IEEE and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).  I have helped out with many of the Spring 2009 IEEE events, such as S-PAC and Kaleidoscope, and I have also been acting as the IEEE co-Secretary for the spring semester.  I believe I would make a good Secretary for IEEE because I am dedicated to the position and I have acted as a secretary before, and I know how to perform the duties expected of me.  With my previous experience and my involvement with IEEE, I believe I am the best person for the job.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Treasurer

 

Daari Terrell

 

Hello All, my name is Daari Terrell. I am a senior Electrical Engineering major with a focus in Power.
I am running for Treasurer, because over the course of this semester as Co-Treasurer, I have learned much about
how this organization operates in terms of its budget. Using tools like Google Docs, I have developed a system in
which we have a detailed list of what we by and how much we spend so that we stay within budget, as well as
having documents that show we have something to account for when it comes time for our Regional leaders to
reimburse the chapter for some of the events we hold. With my background I feel I can maintain another successful
year for IEEE.

 

 

AESB Representative

 

Zak Bales

 

 

Industry Representative 1

 

Velinda Meza

 

Industry Representative 2

 

Fernando Vera

 

 

Food Service Engineer

 

Danny Vy Pham

 

“My reasons for wanting this position are selfish ones. By hanging out with you guys and taking charge of stocking the snack inventory, I hope to gain better direction in my college career and life, friends, involvement with the school and my education, and a better sense of responsibility.

I frequently buy stuff from the EAT office so I have some of my own ideas and suggestions. I have a car, so I can purchase supplies.

My goal as IEEE's Food Service Engineer is the customer's happiness.”

 

Historian

 

Deedee Banh

 

“I would like to apply for Historian Position and take picture of
events. I will make sure to attend all IEEE events, capture all IEEE
moments and update those pictures via webmaster.”
