IEEE Elections, Part 2
You may have seen this in your e-mail inbox, already:
Dear IEEE Voting Member:
Your individual ballot for the 2007 IEEE Annual Election
has been mailed to you via first class.
The opportunity to vote in the IEEE Annual Election is a
privilege of your membership. The annual election candidate biography booklet
will only be provided to newly joined members who are eligible to vote for the
first time in the annual election, those who have been elevated to Member or
Graduate Student membership grades on/or before 30 June 2007, and those members
who voted by paper ballot in the 2006 election. Members who transmitted their
ballot electronically, or did not vote in the 2006 election, will not receive
the candidate biography booklet. However, access to these materials will be
available electronically via the IEEE annual election website. All eligible
voting members will receive a paper ballot and postage paid reply envelope in
their ballot package.
To assist all voting members in making an informed
decision, a moderated Roundtable Q&A video/audio session, with the three
President-Elect candidates answering questions asked by members, and a
video/audio of the annual President-Elect candidates' debate, hosted by the IEEE
Philadelphia Section, are also available on the IEEE annual election website.
These videos are accessible from the link below or directly from IEEE.tv. We
hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to view the President-Elect
candidates. Please visit
http://www.ieee.org/elections.
In addition, to help you learn more about them, many
candidates have provided a link to a personal Web site and a short "by-line" to
further promote their candidacy. These "by-lines" are provided below. If no url
is provided, then a personal Web site is not available. Candidates are listed
alphabetically by election category and the sequence does not indicate any
preference.
Your vote is important to the IEEE. We encourage you to
learn as much as you can about the candidates and participate in the annual
election when you receive your ballot.
Sincerely,
Fern E. Katronetsky
IEEE
