EDS Governance
 
 
From the desk of the President...

Dear Electron Devices Society colleagues,
 
 

I am most pleased to inform you of upcoming plans to conduct a Strategic Planning Workshop. The results will play a significant role in the continuous quest of the Society to achieve ever higher levels of excellence. We strive to be an indispensable resource for those who want to achieve success in our field.

 
 
We exist for the benefit of our members and for our profession as well as for the greater good of humanity. Some of you may remember that four years ago we engaged in a similar initiative which produced, among other things, four strategic goals which we have striven to use in guiding us in how we develop and resource programs for your benefit. We intend to build upon these to continue our status as a stellar IEEE Society, and a magnet for new members because of the value we create for you.

In keeping with our tradition of coordinating our Board of Governors Meeting with a major conference, we will be tentatively holding the summer meeting on 12 June prior to and in conjunction with the 2022 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits set for 12-17 June. The Strategic Planning Workshop will be on 10-11 June and will precede the Board Meeting. The Workshop participants will be a select group of past, present and future leaders of the Society. All other EDS members are invited to observe the deliberations if you find yourself in this locale on these dates. But whether you are attending or not we will be soliciting your inputs. Stay tuned for details in the EDS Newsletter and in Society Briefs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the EDS Executive Office – [email protected].
