- Timely reaction to the challenges in today’s dynamic workplace.
- Build stronger relations with industries.
- Leverage my IEEE, industry, and academic experience to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
- Promote YP, WIE and Student Activities.
- Increase collaboration between the different Committees.
- Establish University and Corporate Liaison positions at the region level.
- Devote more resources to assist with the continued rejuvenation of all sections within the Region.
- Implement new initiatives to decrease the declining number of members within the Region.
- Collaboration with other Regions.
- Balanced Budget while getting the best service to our members.
