Hello Current and Future EMC Society Members,
Hope you have had a brisk start to the year. I want to quickly update you on a couple of upcoming deadlines and let you know about a facelift that we made to the EMC Society webpage that features the calendar of events.
IEEE Fellow Nominations
“IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation.” – as defined by the IEEE.
Fellow nominees must be a Senior Member of the IEEE and must be nominated under one of the following four categories:
- Application Engineer/Practitioner
- Educator
- Research Engineer/Scientist
- Technical Leader
If you know a friend, colleague, or a co-worker that is worthy of such nomination, please consider nominating them. The deadline for nomination is March 1, 2022. The EMCS also has resources available to help you with the nomination. Please contact our Fellow Nomination Committee chaired by Dr. Chris Holloway for any assistance.
EMCS Board of Directors-at-Large Nominations
Candidate nominations are now being accepted for the 2022 IEEE Annual Elections ballot for Director-at-Large positions on the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors (BoD) for a three-year term, beginning January 1, 2023. In accordance with the bylaws, nominations may be made by the Nominations and Appointments (N&A) Committee or by petition by individual voting members. Candidates who wish to be considered for election should provide their full name, IEEE membership number and grade, and their preferred manner for petition submission to the N&A Committee Chair.
Nominees must be members of the IEEE and of the EMC Society and be of good standing. The candidates or the nominators should also summarize the candidate's current and past service to the IEEE and the EMC Society demonstrating substantial involvement as a volunteer including but not limited to technical committees, local chapter activities, and EMC Society standards development. Qualifying nominations and all supporting documentation shall be provided to the N&A Committee chaired by Dr. Alistair Duffy (apd@dmu.ac.uk) no later than May 27, 2022.
EMCS Calendar-at-a-Glance
The EMC Society’s Calendar-at-a-Glance page has gotten a facelift and now includes the important deadlines - “Key Dates” - for the upcoming Spokane symposium in addition to other nomination deadlines and Society/Chapter webinars and events. We have provided a clickable link on this page, so it is easily navigable to the appropriate spot be it uploading your paper or listening to a recorded webinar. We hope you will find this feature helpful and please do not hesitate to provide us any feedback you have along with any enhancements you would like to see in the future.
To quote Max Frisch "Finished things cease to be a shelter for the spirit but work in progress is a delight." This cannot be truer for a website! Your comments are greatly appreciated.
