Statement - As both the IEEE and its constituent professional societies emerge from the recent economic downturn, we are recognizing that our world has changed. The new rules, processes, and changes in governance that have been developed to help prevent a reoccurrence of the financial problems that we all struggled through need to be understood and absorbed into our different society cultures. As we look to the future, we can also see that there will continue to be changes in the role IEEE plays in the development and support of our members as we are faced with both the positive and negative impacts of open access to publications, globalization, and the need for life-long learning to keep up with the continual beat of changing technologies.
All these changes require leadership that has the vision to look beyond the immediate change and try to explore and develop new opportunities and services instead of lamenting the past. I would like the opportunity to work with you in creating an exciting tomorrow for our Division I Societies and the IEEE.

STEVEN J. HILLENIUS
(Nominated by Division I) Director, Device Technology Agere Systems Allentown, Pennsylvania
Steven Hillenius is Director, Integrated Circuit Device Technology Department at Agere Systems. His responsibilities are for the development, planning and selection of technologies for the products that Agere Systems produces. He was an Assistant Professor of physics at the University of Virginia from 1978-81, where his research involved low temperature solid-state physics. He worked for Bell Laboratories from 1981-01. In 1996, he became the Head of the ULSI Device Technology Research Department where he managed the research of a department consisting of device and processing research and computer aided design of processing and devices. Dr. Hillenius has eight patents in the area of semiconductor device structures. He has published over 70 articles and book chapters on semiconductor devices and processing. He received the Ph.D. in physics from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, in 1979.
IEEE Activities - (M'80-SM'96-F'96) SOCIETIES: Electron Devices: President, 2002-03; Administrative Committee, 2000-04; Publications, Chair, 1992-98. CONFERENCES: International Electron Device Meeting, General Chair, 1996; Technical Committee Positions, Program Chair, 1988-95.
Statement - I believe that we have a tremendous opportunity ahead of us to use the Division activities to leverage the synergy of our Societies/Councils. The financial challenges being behind us, we now have an opportunity to redirect the Division I activities.
The many development directions and application of device technology towards new applications allows the Division to supply synergy amongst all of the technical activities. A major challenge for us is to ensure that the IEEE is aligned with the new directions in the community. In particular, I think we need to coordinate the technical activities and the interests that span the society structures.
As Division I Director, I would like to see an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration created so that the IEEE will be more responsive to the changes and new direction that will be required. My industry and IEEE experience enable me to work with volunteers and staff and all of the diverse members of the Division. I hope to have and look forward to your support.

Statement - I am very honored to be nominated. Over the past 30 years, the IEEE has become an integrating force behind my professional career.
The Societies and Councils in Division I possess proud history, cover true fundamentals and promote new technologies that define today's IEEE. It is indeed the #1 Division! If elected, I would strive to maintain this tradition by utilizing the complementary strengths within our Societies and Councils. As 2001 President of the CAS Society, I worked with Presidents of sister Societies, promoting joint conferences and publications (e.g., the first IEEE Nano Conference; Transactions on Mobile Computing). I will pursue the same philosophy and initiate/promote:

• A new "IEEE Division I International Conference," based on successful CAS Emerging Technology Workshops;
• Joint special issues of Transactions, highlighting new technologies and their impact on education;
• Member/Professional development through joint Chapters, Distinguished Lecturer Program;
• "E-Newsletter," bringing timely information to Division membership; and
• Represent the Division's interests to the IEEE Board of Directors and TAB.
  I would be honored to work with you in this mission and respectfully request your vote.
