Hello, this is Professor Saifur Rahman of Virginia Tech.
It is my privilege to come before you today as a candidate for IEEE President-elect 2021.
This is an extension of my service to IEEE which began in 1985 when I was elected the chair of the IEEE Virginia Mountain Section.
Since then I have served on almost all major IEEE Boards including the IEEE Board of Directors.
For 2018 and 2019, I was the president of the IEEE Power & Energy Society.
If elected president, I will address the post-COVID ‘new normal’ supporting global collaboration, remote working, continuing professional development, expedite Sustainability, and build a resilient future for all current and future IEEE members.
Please look at my website below.
Thank you.
SAIFUR RAHMAN
