Become Involved
in the PES
Students are the future of our Society, and
this is emphasized in the PES's five-year
strategic plan. We are currently seeing
less participation in our Student Chapters at universities in North America, and
fewer students are transitioning to PES
membership upon graduation. All of us
can do something to change that. No matter where you live in the world, please
consider offering a free webinar. Talk to
the students at your local university about
your job and your career. Tell them why
you find a career in the field of power and
energy so worthwhile, and explain how
they can benefit from being involved with
our Society. If you can help create a new
PES Student Chapter or revive an inactive
one at your local university, please do so.
And if you work with a young colleague just out of school, encourage

can help reach that goal by both offering to present and participate virtually
in presentations given by others.
If you are still wondering what is
in it for you, active involvement with
PES Chapters will help you build your
professional network, learn new skills,
stay up to date professionally, develop
leadership skills, and be recognized for
your accomplishments through PES
Chapter awards. And along the way,
you will also create friendships that
will stay with you for life. There is absolutely nothing to lose and everything
to gain.
I wish that you all stay safe and
connected during these challenging
times. You are welcome to reach out to
me with questions or ideas at mazana

him or her to join our PES community
for a more successful and fulfilling
career, just as you and I have experienced. Our Society's foundation is in
the development of standards that have
enabled us to build and operate arguably
the most complex engineered systems
known to humankind. Our technical
committees are the perfect place for
young professionals to grow and mature
into technical leaders of the future.
I also encourage you to get in touch
with a professional PES Chapter near
you. It is very easy to find your nearest Chapter at https://www.ieee-pes

-locator. Check out Chapter activities and consider giving a presentation
about your professional interests. I
challenge all PES Chapters, both student and professional, to organize at
least one virtual event per month. You
