IEEE Accomplishments

I helped make IEEE Press books older than three years a free IEEE membership benefits in order to advance their careers and recognize their status as members.
I have conceived an ongoing feature published in IEEE Potentials, the Magazine for our students under the title “My First Job” where I invite and coordinate articles written by senior professionals sharing their experience as they have entered the work force for the first time.
I contributed to the 2003 IEEE Board, decision to add the category of industrial and practical contributions to the Fellow evaluation process.
I proposed to PES Governing Board creation of the Power Engineering Letters, and was Founding Editor (1998-2004,) establishing its operational foundation framework.
As Chair of PES Life Long Learning Committee, established a framework for a cutting-edge program of tutorials.
The Power Engineering Series of IEEE Press is recognized as the premier book publishing program world-wide. As Editor-in-chief, I develop overall policy, acquisition philosophy and author recruitment for power engineering books.
As 2004-2005 Secretary of IEEE, provided volunteer leadership in streamlining IEEE documents to achieve consistency and clarity.
As 2002-2003 Director of Region 7, formalized the IEEE Canada Web site as a major unifying instrument for the Region. I created a tradition of visiting more than 70% of the Sections in the region, and lead Anniversary Celebrations, such as Region 7, and Toronto Section Centennial, and the Winnipeg Section 50th Anniversary.
As Region 7 Past Director, I crafted the Region Bylaws to reflect the new Governance model approved late in 2004.
