ComSoc should play a greater role in addressing the professional needs of members, academia and industry worldwide. If elected I will focus on:
- Ensuring that ComSoc continues disseminating the highest quality technical information via conferences, journals/magazines and through customized access to on-line content, "live" tutorials, Webinars, and on-line communities
- Increasing industry support by facilitating communications standards development and targeted publications
- Strengthening ComSoc globalization by attracting professionals from developing countries and increasing cooperation with local technical societies worldwide
- Increasing participation by students and women
- Attracting new members through better support to local chapters, expanding the Society's interdisciplinary activities, and including emerging technical areas such as cloud computing, smart grid, security, converged networks, applications and services
My background in industry research and academia combined with my ComSoc experience in technical activities and membership services will enable me to better solicit members' opinions and serve our Society.
