Each petition nominee must submit a photograph, a brief biography (no more than 300 words), a vision statement (no more than 150 words) to Xinghuo Yu (x.yu@ieee.org) by July 30, 2021. According to IES Constitution and Bylaws, the nomination of candidates by petition from the IES membership is allowed. If you wish to initiate a petition, you must inform Xinghuo Yu (x.yu@ieee.org) with a copy to Matt LaFleur (m.lafleur@ieee.org). Following your notification, you will be contacted by IEEE staff with information on how to obtain the required petition signatures. A nomination petition signed by a minimum of 171 IES eligible voting members must be received by July 30, 2021, in order to place the petition nominee on the 2021 IES AdCom Member-at-Large election slate.
IEEE IES-NAC and staff will prepare and conduct the election of the Elected AdCom Members-at-Large during August and September 2021.
