Downloadable Election Flyer (pdf)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

I have been selected by the IEEE Nominations and Appointments Committee, upon recommendation by the IEEE Technical Activities Board (TAB), to be a candidate, in the upcoming election, for the position of 2008 IEEE Vice President – Technical Activities. 

Throughout my twenty plus years IEEE volunteer career, I have always given priority to enhancing the quality of services provided to members as well as to keeping the costs of these services under control. I have always been a strong opponent of unnecessary fees and dues increases. I am presently extremely concerned with the steady rise in IEEE´s infrastructure expenses which pose a serious threat to the viability of Societies/Councils and, in the end, to IEEE survival as a member organization.

 In this web site you will find extended versions of my Position Statement, my biographical sketch and my activities as an IEEE volunteer. You will also find copies of some of the messages I wrote when I was President of the IEEE Communications Society. They illustrate where I stand in several political and technical issues.

I welcome any questions you may have concerning my positions and suggestions of issues you feel should be discussed both by TAB as well as by the IEEE Board of Directors.

I will be honored to receive your support in this election, just as I received from a large number of you a few years ago when I was elected a Division Director. You can rest assured that as chair of the Technical Activities Board and as a member of the IEEE Board of Directors I will do my best to protect the interests of the IEEE technical community, its societies and councils.

Roberto
