Don Joslyn, Sol Black, Ben Mehraban, and Bob Walston are members of the nominating committee for the section officers for calendar years 2011 and 2012.

The nominating committee is recommending the following candidates:

Chair: John Golzy
Vice Chair: Howard Jones
Treasurer: Jack Freund
Secretary: Lynn Congos

The IEEE Columbus Section is now accepting open nominations for the up-coming bi-annual election. This is an excellent opportunity to help the section by bringing in new volunteers. The experience of serving as an IEEE Columbus Section Officer has many benefits including enhancing one’s management and organizational skills; encouraging students enrolled in university and college Electrical/Electronics & Computer Engineering Departments to become active IEEE members; managing the section’s financial resources; and assisting in the planning, scheduling, and support of the technical, professional, educational, and social events. The lead section unit for each of these events is the section itself, one of the seven Societies, the Affinity Group GOLD, or one of the four student chapters.

The MGA (Member & Geographical Activities) Quick Start Guide for Section Chair is available here. The other Section Officer positions have a link to their respective Quick Start Guide. You are encouraged to review these web pages before submitting a member name during this open nomination period.

The open nomination period will close on Friday, October 15. You may nominate yourself for any position of interest and/or nominate a colleague for consideration. Simply provide their name and E-mail address and they will be contacted to discuss their position of interest.

Thank you in advance for you assistance.
