A Message from President Rahman

I hope everyone had a successful and enjoyable time at IEEE Sections Congress 2023, which aims to bring together Section leadership from all 10 Regions to network, learn, and collectively shape the future of IEEE.

This year’s theme, “Enabling Leaders to Build a Sustainable Future” recognizes the global crisis of climate change, as well as IEEE’s commitment to helping alleviate the effects through pragmatic, accessible technical solutions for sustainability, and providing engineers and technologists with a neutral space for discussion and action. I believe IEEE’s impact starts at the local level, beginning with building awareness of the multitude of resources that membership provides. With more than 340 sections around the world, local engineers, technologists, and computer scientists can deliver technology solutions for their unique communities.

Linked in this communication is a deck on IEEE Climate Change Engagement Opportunities, which includes information on how IEEE is addressing climate change, as well as technology solutions available from IEEE, and can serve as a blueprint for members’ action plan. I encourage you to share this information widely with local members and your colleagues. Thank you again for your dedication to IEEE and your commitment to advancing our mission, both locally and around the world.

Regards,
Saifur Rahman
2023 IEEE President and CEO
