Help Shape the Future of Johnstown Section IEEE!

We have an exciting opportunity for you to get involved, and we'd love for you to be part of it! Our section is more than a local network. We have a voice and a presence at many higher-level IEEE events. To keep that momentum going, we're looking for new volunteers and officers to help us stay active through meetings, tours, conferences, and other events. Our small but dedicated team of two officers has kept things moving, and with your energy and ideas, we can do so much more. Whether you want to take on an officer role, help out occasionally, or start a new student or technical group, there's a place for you. Join us for an interest meeting on Friday, November 6th! Come hear about the possibilities, share your ideas, and meet fellow members. We plan to meet in person in the Johnstown area, with a remote option for those who can't attend in person. If another location would work better for you, let us know and we'll look into it. Interested in becoming a Senior Member or reaching another elevated grade? If enough members are interested, we'll use this meeting to plan how our section can help members advance to higher membership levels. Generally, you'll need to meet experience criteria and obtain recommendations from other IEEE members. Inspiring the next generation of engineers IEEE is partnering with sections to engage high school students and spark their interest in Electrical Engineering. Maddu will introduce a new IEEE initiative that sponsors competitions to raise awareness of Electrical Engineering programs among high schoolers. We'll share the details at the meeting and can plan activities for our section if there's interest. Please RSVP as "In-Person" or "Remote" to let us know you're coming. Have an idea or question? Reach out to Maddu or me anytime. We'd love to hear from you. Currently we have not scheduled an "in-person" location since we are waiting to see how many people are interested. Most likely, the in-person location would be near Johnstown but other locations could be considered. Follow up meetings at other locations are welcome as well. We hope to see you there! Warm regards, Michael Ream, Chair Maddu Karunaratne, Treasurer
