Noel Schulz - Candidate Statement

See my candidate speech at the IEEE PES General Meeting (starting at 9:00)

 

Many of today’s pressing engineering challenges and opportunities are in power and energy areas. These issues are complex and require collaborative, crosscutting solutions. IEEE PES has an opportunity to expand our impact through the additional coordination across IEEE and other worldwide organizations. Our IEEE PES mission is “To be the leading provider of scientific and engineering information on electric power and energy for the betterment of society, and the preferred professional development source for our members.” I believe in this mission and will work to represent PES and its strategic goals within IEEE.

 

As IEEE Division VII Director, I would coordinate with PES leaders and members to identify ways to expand our activities, collaborations, and impact across IEEE technical activities as well as membership and geographic activities in the spirit of IEEE’s core purpose, “to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity.” IEEE PES is about people – providing solutions in the power and energy space for the betterment of society and providing professional development resources for PES members working towards these solutions.
