this critical period has
been exceptional. Collectively,

to ensure the strength
of PES.
As part of shaping the
Society's future, tackling
energy challenges related
to climate change is of
prime importance. From
this perspective, the central
role of electrification
puts PES at the heart of
the matter. Indeed, after
electrification for the benefit
of humanity as one
of the greatest achievements
of the past century, a new revolution
is underway, driven by the need
to decarbonize the energy sector and

achieve sustainability.
The massive development
of renewable energy
sources, clean mobility,
storage, energy efficiency,
and digitalization,
among others, is
key to our future world.
Therefore, PES needs to
reinforce its investments
to strengthen its leading
role. Thanks to our financial
position and members
as well as our devoted
staff, officers, and volunteers,
PES is in a prime
position to do so while
providing remarkable
benefits to its members.
I express my gratitude to the Finance
Committee members and volunteers
who give their time to serve the
Society and provide the best service.
I am also grateful to the PES staff for
their availability, relevant analysis, and
overall help on all financial matters.
Special thoughts and considerations
go out in memory of our previous executive
director, Pat Ryan, who sadly
passed away in 2020. He was a model
staff member with whom I worked
on various PES financial matters. I
appreciated his availability, kindness,
and goodwill for all. Without any
doubt , he made remarkable contributions
to our Society and served its
members well. He leaves an indelible
mark on PES and IEEE as a whole.
With that said, I welcome Tim Licitra,
our new executive director. He joins a
Society that has an open path to innovation
and will help take PES to the
next level.
