IEEE Power Engineering Society, Kansas City Chapter

What is the Power Engineering Society (PES)?

The IEEE Power Engineering Society is a worldwide, non-profit association of more than 21,000 individuals engaged in electric power engineering. PES members are involved in the planning, research, development, construction, installation, and operation of equipment and systems for the safe, reliable, and economic generation, transmission, distribution, measurement, and control of electric energy.

The Power Engineering Society provides the world's largest forum for sharing the latest in technological developments in the electric power industry, for developing standards that guide the development and construction of equipment and systems, and for educating members of the industry and the general public. Members of the Power Engineering Society are leaders in this field, and they — and their employers — derive substantial benefits from involvement with this unique and outstanding association. You can find more info at www.ieee.org/power.

Why a local chapter?

This affords local members the opportunity to meet, network, and socialize with their peers while enjoying local programs.

A side effect of this is a local officership is required and that provides resume-building opportunities, leadership experience, and the chance to influence what takes place in regard to the local chapter. The time commitment is less than many people think.
