EDS Strategic Planning

As you may know, the Strategic Planning Workshop was completed in June and I am very pleased to announce that it successfully completed its charter. There is now a Strategic Plan proposal which will be presented to the EDS Board of Governors and Forum for adoption. The Plan has five major components. In this article I would like to share the first three components with you. The Mission and Vision are the ones with which you are familiar. They have been on EDS website for quite some time. The Workshop delegates affirmed these with no major changes.

Mission
To foster professional growth of its members by satisfying their needs for easy access to and exchange of technical information, publishing, education, and technical recognition while enhancing public visibility in the field of Electron Devices.

Vision
Promoting excellence in the field of electron devices for the benefit of humanity.

The third component consists of five adjectives which describe the EDS Core Values. It was proposed by the EDS Executive Committee and adopted by the delegates. They articulate the human values of the Society as lived today and endure but which are distinct from what it aspires to be. They describe what anyone should expect who interacts with us and when we interact with each other.

Core Values
> trustworthy.....we are honest and transparent; we keep our word
> respectful.......we are civil, courteous and polite in our actions and discourse
> inclusive.........we seek full engagement from all members; we exclude no one; there are no ranks
> ethical.............we do nothing to harm individuals or the environment; we follow the law
> open................we listen to new ideas; we are aware of and adapt to change

The Strategic Plan is a dynamic plan which thrives when all members live its core values and participate in the realization of its vision and mission. Your role in this is vital. That is why I am calling on you to exemplify our core values in your professional life and to engage in a dialog with us about what the Society can do for you and what you can do to make our vision and mission come to life.

We need your feedback. You are the important ingredient for making this successful. Please go to: https://ieee-collabratec.ieee.org/app/workspaces/8209/Electron-Devices-Society-Strategic-Plan/activities. You can log on with your IEEE credentials or simply register as a Collabratec user at no cost. Do it today.

Women in Electron Devices (WiEDS)
 
 

Our Society has a vibrant community of women and men using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity. To mentor, encourage, and acknowledge women's achievements in the electron device technical field, the WiEDS committee plans many events throughout the year at IEEE conferences sponsored by EDS. Upcoming events held in collaboration with our IEEE sister Societies will be held in Milan, Italy and Bangalore, India.
