Dive in to Career Promotion

by Len Long – Chapter Coordinator, IEEE Boston Section

When you get into the armed service, Church, service organizations or even family life, you make the best of it by participating in their activities. Then you will get a lot out of it. Your best is often diving into situations and providing input in many ways.

It is the same way when you join and contribute to IEEEBoston. When I was serving the Section as a Congressional Delegate in Sydney, Australia I learned in a session there that IEEE-Boston Conferences, in-person courses and online courses served young, ambitious, self-motivated engineers by providing a roadmap to professional success. Also of career importance are the opinions expressed by experts in their fields as recorded in the Section Archives. If you wish to find out specific facts about fusion energy, for instance, you can stream, several presentations by experts in this field which are available on the IEEE-Boston website archives. They range from Department of Energy consultants to people who are historically or actively engaged in the field. Questions are answered like, “Will solar, hydraulic and wind power be sufficient to satisfy the world’s energy needs?”

So, as members of IEEE, if you would like to derive the utmost out of your membership and your career, dive in to the promotion of your career by getting the Section to help you organize and produce a one or multiple day conference or training course. Bob Alongi, our IEEEBoston Section Manager, will field your request and put you in contact with one of our Executive Committee members to get the ball rolling with excellent support. Remember, if you put your best into IEEE, you will get a lot out of it!
