- THE RACE IS
ON!!!
-
- I want to run as a petition candidate for the position of IEEE
President
- Elect this year. I have the encouragement of current and past
Presidents
- and Directors, Ken Laker, Chuck, Alexander, and Joel Snyder,
as well as
- many other IEEE members. To be successful, I need your support
as well!
- Even though the IEEE Nominations & Appointments Committee
selected
- me as one of the potential candidates for the position of
President Elect,
- the Board of Directors chose to move forward with two prior
candidates
- who were unsuccessful in their bid for President Elect last
year.
-
- I ask that you join with me and other IEEE members who believe
the
- IEEE membership should get to decide who the best candidate is
for
- President Elect 2001. We need 3000 voting members to sign the
petition
- for my name to be placed on the 2000 ballot. Please print the
petition
- form, sign it, and mail it back to me.
-
- I have the right combination of IEEE service, industry
experience, drive
- and dedication to lead our organization. Learn about my
background and
- read my bio and position statement.
-
- Please help me get my name on the ballot now by signing and
returning
- the petition.

PARTICIPATION IN SYMPOSIUM HIGHLIGHTED IN *NEW YORK
TIMES*
-
- The Digital Commerce column appearing in
the 31 Jan. NEW YORK TIMES cited
- IEEE-USA cosponsorship last fall of a
workshop at Cornell University on
- broadband futures. According to the
TIMES' piece by Denise Caruso,
- workshop participants concluded that
"common carriage encourages the
- [communications] network to be
everywhere and fully interconnected ... [and]
- would provide stability and thus
significantly speed the development of the
- broadband market." To see the entire
column, go to https://www.nytimes.com.

*TODAY'S ENGINEER* STRESSES COMMUNICATIONS SKILLS
-
- The first-quarter 2000 TODAY'S ENGINEER,
published by IEEE-USA with tips,
- strategies and solutions for fast-track
technical professionals, includes
- the following articles:
-
- "Beat the Clock": Unless engineers plan
their time well and consistently
- use time management tools, they're
setting themselves up for missed
- deadlines and higher stress.
-
- "Six Sigma Management": more than just
another management fad, General
- Electric has credited this process and
product improvement approach with
- savings in excess of $1
billion.
-
- "Glass Ceilings and Sliding Doors": With
fewer women entering the field
- and high attrition among those who do,
the glass ceiling remains a serious
- issue.
-
- "Two for the Road": Communication and
problem solving are two skills that
- lie at the heart of everything engineers
do; here's how you can refine
- them.
-
- "E-mail Disasters": here's how to avoid
terrible subject lines,
- overformatting, misplaced messages, and
other common electronic
- communications blunders.
-
- "Seen and Heard": Few ways to
distinguish yourself from other engineers
- offer more impact than demonstrating
effective presentation skills.
-
- "Newsmakers: Building Young Engineers":
Duke School of Engineering Dean
- Kristina Johnson talks about the
school's $35-million endowment and her
- commitment to preparing engineering
students to meet the broad and complex
- challenges of the next
century.
