Annual Election Process to Get Under Way in August
The election is here! Following the live internet broadcast of the IEEE President-Elect roundtable Q&A 7/27 at 14:30 EST the ballots will be available online.
Here is a link to my information on the IEEE Election Site.
I have been a member and volunteer for the IEEE since I joined in 1980. OK, so back then I was helping organize the weekly EE wine and cheese party at Cornell University! I've paid my IEEE dues since then--click for my IEEE background.
I have done some good work with the Instrumentation & Measurement Society that I think can make a difference elsewhere in the IEEE. I hope you spread the word and that you will elect me as your Division II Director.
I welcome your ideas (Google members can use Comments or just email me) on how we can work together to make the IEEE better.

Welcome to My Site
Hi,
Thank you for visiting my candidate site. I have setup this collaborative site for a couple of reasons:
1) so you can learn more about me than the standard paperwork allows
2) so I can learn more about the needs of members of Division II
3) to win your vote in the upcoming election
Learn more about me with the links at the left. Please use the Comments link below to share your comments and ideas.
Most of all, please let me know what you think of the IEEE, your Society, your professional needs, and how we can work together to make things better.
If you have questions you can reach me at b.wadell@ieee.org
Regards,
Brian
