President’s Report
From the Office of the National President Engr. Alex C. Cabugao 2014 IIEE National President
Heartfelt greetings to my fellow electrical practitioners! As the primary thrust of my administration, the core of my plans and programs is to look back at the basic unit of the Institute, the chapter, to encourage members’ participation and involvement to ensure the attainment of IIEE’s vision, mission and objectives. IIEE VISION 2020 This year we will follow the famous E=mc2 where m stands for membership, c2 for community and country. Therefore, both top-down and bottomup approaches will be applied to align goals and objectives following the five pillars of IIEE as follows: 1.) Chapter and Membership Development which aims to elevate membership engagement and satisfaction, advance membership competence and sustain chapter development. To measure the success or failure, key indicators would be membership growth rate of 15% for this year and additional 1% in the succeeding years and the number of course/ programs launch for the members’ professional development.

2.) Financial Growth and Sustainability aiming to sustain programs and projects by promoting financial accountability and stewardship. In a smaller perspective, it valued the optimization of resources and expansion of revenue opportunities as well as developing effective financial planning and control. The key indicators would be the amount of surplus, Php8M and expense/membership ratio of (P66), 53. 3.) Corporate Image which aims to establish reputation and thought leadership, expand influence in the industry and sustain advocacy on relevant national issues which could be measured through number of programs implemented, ten (10) memorandum of understanding/agreement and one representation, public consultation/hearing per quarter. 4.) Operational Excellence and Process Innovation aiming to have effective and efficient delivery of professional quality membership services and continuous learning and growth initiatives. This pillar can be measured through APT or response time at all level of inquiries and operations and to the number of Work Improvement Projects (WIP). 5.) Project Management and Advocacy which aims to strengthen network relations and build strategic partnership and alliances as well as
The Electrical Engineer 1st Quarter 2014
President’s Report
to sustain advocacy on relevant national issues which can be measured through number of proposals/papers submitted and number of membership hearings/consultations. Recognizing the exceptional contributions of chapters to the growth and success of the Institute, it is indeed the perfect time to hear their voices and therefore, letting them feel their importance as members of the Institute. Thus, we created the CHAPTER program to address the chapters’ concerns and necessities. Communication – utilizing all channels and means of communication to reach the membership both in local and international chapters. It also aims to maximize the use of latest information technology to determine the interest and concerns of the general public.
“This year we will follow
the famous E=mc2, where m stands for membership, c2 for community and country.” Harnessing Chapter Talents – encouraging the involvement of members in all levels while promoting succession based on leadership quality. The administration is making ways to encourage the participation of the general public and use their talents to achieve the Institute’s goals and objectives for this year.
Alignment of Strategic Goals and Advocacy – both top-down and bottom-up approaches supported by covenants. It aims to open collaboration and alliances to the local government units, private sectors and among our industry partners. Participative Leadership – encouraging participation among members of a chapter and give chance to hear their voices, taking a participative role in the decision-making process which will lead to higher productivity, better contributions to the members and increase group morale. Training and Development – it entails continuing professional skills development including coaching and leadership development programs for officers and scholarship grant for the members who wanted to pursue post graduate studies (masteral, doctoral). Employment, Livelihood and Entrepreneurship – IIEE will serve as network in providing better opportunities for job placement and business for members. Rewards and Recognition Program – entails as the membership’s motivational tool and encourage them to improve performance to contribute to both chapter and national growth. Regional Governors, on the other hand, are expected to present their programs for this year following the Vision 2020 for the alignment of chapter activities eyeing towards the Chapter Excellence Award. While the committees, both Standing and Ad-Hoc, shall also pattern their activities and programs to the Vision 2020.

He discussed first the purpose of the PEC to EE and architects and then defined the common provisions of PEC regarding the planning, execution, violations and enforcement.
ATTENDEES: Attendees were REE’s, PEE’s, RME’s, Architects, BSEE Students and BSAr Students.
Engr. Nelson S. Andres, the chapter president of IIEE-Bataan, jump-started the program through his welcome address. He detailed the reason of coming up with a collaborative technical seminar for the two professions. He stressed that the activity was pursued to build bridges among electrical engineers and architects of Bataan in preparing safe and reliable electrical plans. The first technical seminar was entitled “Material take-off and Estimates of Residential and Commercial Electrical systems”. This was delivered by Engr. Federico V. Cudia, a professor from Mapua Institute of Technology and the president of Powerline Review Center. He started his presentation by acknowledging the commonalities between electrical engineers and architects with respect to the subject matter. He pointed out the importance of architects to electrical engineers in having possible projects. He then headed the discussion to the common materials used in electrical systems and cited different methods and examples of cost estimates. The second part of the program was supposedly a product presentation by AC Harris Wires and Cables.
