vision is to develop a robust market-
ing plan that focuses on desirability,
value, identity, strength, and indi-
viduality, which are gained through
the membership.
4) Education. Education represents
the single most viable new opportu-
nity for the Society to better serve
its membership. In accordance with
our mission, PELS plans to provide
targeted education to enhance the
careers of current and future pro-
fessionals. Many excellent ideas
were presented by the participants,
and we will pursue business cases
for the power electronics curricu-
lum development, teacher's forum
certification courses, distinguished
tutorials, continuing education
credits, and webinars.
5) Online delivery and archiving. The
goal is to provide additional online
content to our membership, consis-
tent to a "think globally, act locally"
approach. Our Society wishes to be
on the forefront of using the latest

digital media for providing services
to the power electronics community
including webinars covering differ-
ent technical levels both for indus-
try and academia, improved online
publications, eLearning courses, and
the efficient use of social media.
6) Standards. PELS has restructured
the standards organization to in-
clude more participants and dedi-
cated volunteer positions. With the
proliferation of power electronics
in a wide variety of technical areas,
there is a clear role for PELS to
define and contribute to important
standards activities in these fields.
In the coming years, PELS will
target the following areas: wide
bandgap devices technology, dc in
the home in smart grids and in
microgrids, and transportation
electrification.
7) Community collaboration and
providing members a home. PELS
will foster a dynamic global envi-
ronment where power electronics

communities preserve global indi-
viduality but at the same time col-
laborate in an open environment.
This will be achieved by
* improving and introducing new
programs to support the career
development of young profes-
sionals in power electronics
* developing programs to address
electrical energy poverty in
developing nations
* creating a travel grant program
for students to attend PELS
conferences.

Power Electronics in 2030
This year, 2030 was much in the news
due to the proposed IEEE constitu-
tional amendment that IEEE Members
failed to pass. The discussion was
packaged in a long-term view of the
future of the IEEE as an organization.
The impact of the initiatives that PELS
launched this year aims to facilitate
technology changes that will affect
power electronics systems in 2030.
