This September, IEEE will be holding its annual election for a new Vice-President Elect of the Technical Activities Board [TAB]. TAB is made up of the Presidents of all IEEE Societies and Technical Council, Division Directors and appointed Standing Committee chairs. It promotes and facilitates the technical activities of the IEEE.
The TAB VP Elect serves for the year 2000 as VP-Elect then succeeds to Vice-President in 2001 to serve as the chair of the Technical Activities Board. The TAB VP is also one of five Vice-Presidents of IEEE serving on the IEEE Board of Directors and the IEEE Executive Committee. The candidates for this yearŐs election have both served as members of TAB. They are:
Lewis Terman (President of the Solid-State Circuits Society)
Roger Pollard (Past President of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society).
Remember ballots for IEEE-wide and regional elections come in a separate envelope from the SSCS and other Society Adcom ballots. Candidates for five SSCS AdCom positions will be announced in the ballot you will receive later this fall. We encourage you to vote in both the upcoming elections.
