Call for Nominations: Technical Committee Vice Chair and Member Positions

The Nominations and Appointments Subcommittee for each Technical Committee is currently seeking nominations for new Members, as well as the Vice Chair position for some Technical Committees. Nominations for both positions should be submitted directly to each Technical Committee’s Nominations and Appointments Subcommittee. Please provide the name, contact information, IEEE member number and biography with the nomination. The nomination deadline is set as 15 September 2023, and individual information on each Technical Committee’s nomination/election schedule can be found on their respective website.

All Technical Committee candidates must be current IEEE and SPS members in good standing. New member candidates can be self-nominated or nominated by Technical Committee members. Members will serve a term of three years. Current TC members who are in their first term may be nominated for a second consecutive term, but are not eligible to vote in that new member election and shall not be part of the Nominations and Appointments Subcommittee for that election. After the second term on a TC, members may run for additional terms, but there must be an absence of at least 3 years between terms. New members must be willing to review papers within the area of the Technical Committee, which are submitted to the Society’s conferences, review papers for workshops owned or co-owned by the Technical Committee, serve in the subcommittees established by the Technical Committee, support the development of education content, and perform other duties as assigned.

Nominations for Vice Chair are restricted to individuals who are currently serving or have previously served as elected members of the Technical Committee. The Vice Chair position automatically succeeds to the position of Chair then Past Chair. The term for Vice Chair is normally one calendar year, unless otherwise noted.

Technical Committee members will be elected by the members of the Technical Committee itself based on the needs of the Technical Committee. The election results will be finalized by 15 November.
