Looking back on my 36 years with IEEE, I’ve seen firsthand how its lifelong learning opportunities, from courses and mentorship to specialized conferences like the Life Members Evolution Conference, empower technologists at every career stage and inspire the innovators of tomorrow.
Discover IEEE’s six strategic goals over the next five years and how IEEE Technical Activities is approaching each goal to strengthen systems and collaboration.
The formal definition of a volunteer is a person who freely offers to participate in an enterprise or undertake a task. However, looking back on my IEEE volunteer career, I realize that very few of my activities arose because I volunteered. In most cases, I was asked if I would be interested in participating, and invariably, I said yes. Every volunteer opportunity I have encountered since joining the IEEE as a postgraduate EE student in 1988 has added a new and enriching dimension to my life.
IEEE came into being in 1963 with the merger of AIEE and IRE. Both of those organizations were founded by leaders in industry. AIEE was founded 140 years ago by the likes of Edison, Tesla, Thomson, and Weston. Alexander Graham Bell served as an early president. IRE was founded in 1912 by leaders in the evolving wireless telegraphy industry.
