*Short message:

IEEE ComSoc has been trying several initiatives to make itself more
relevant in a time of rapid change.  At the same time, there is a
hunger for quality conferences, publications, and avenues that enable
learning and networking among industry, academicians, and students. I
for one have experienced this at first hand in the Asia-Pacific
region. If elected, I, as a young member-at-large, propose to
vigorously engage with this diverse base and channel their energy into
ComSoc. Another important issue that I shall focus on is identifying
and advocating effective steps to remove bottlenecks related to
membership, conferences, publications, and our decision-making
processes that have limited member participation. As the current
Director of Conference Publications in the Board of Governors of
ComSoc, as an IEEE volunteer for a decade, and with 12 years of
international experience in the industry and academia, I look forward
to the opportunity to fulfill these promises.
