text-justify-content"> <span class="fw-bold" >#9 Provide continuing incentives to volunteers:</span > IEEE needs to provide more incentives to increase the number of volunteers. These incentives would contribute to recognizing volunteers’ value and time investment. Incentive examples: IEEE to send letters to employers recognizing their employees' service to the profession, IEEE to provide free membership for the years of volunteer service, IEEE to provide a plaque stating the IEEE years of service, IEEE Badge for LinkedIn profile, IEEE to provide a swag bag with IEEE items. </p> <p class="fs-lg pb-4 text-justify-content"> <span class="fw-bold" >#29 Continuous Education in the IEEE professional field:</span > Partner with other professional organizations for continuing education. This could include training and courses that lead to credentials such as digital badges, certificates and professional development units or hours. Collaboration with others can promote the IEEE brand and expand the influence of IEEE among professional organizations and their members. Integration and awareness with larger organizations will also serve to benefit IEEE members as credentials receive wider recognition. </p> <p class="fs-lg pb-4 text-justify-content"> <span class="fw-bold" >#10 Provide support, education, and processes for working with Student Chapters & building relationships with Sections:</span > The exact relationship between student branches, faculty advisors, and sections is unclear. This has led to some student branches that use the IEEE name but have no official affiliation with the IEEE. Furthermore, the path to officially tie these student branches to the IEEE and local sections is unclear. </p> </div> </div> </section> <!--A Message from President Rahman--> <section class="container mt-3 pt-4"> <h2 class="h1 text-center pb-3 pt-2 pt-sm-3 pt-md-4 mt-md-3 mt-lg-0"> A Message from President Rahman </h2> <div class="row"></div> <div class="col-md-12 d-flex flex-column align-items-center mb-4 mt-1"> <div class="position-relative" style="max-width: 230px"> <img class="d-block position-relative zindex-2" src="assets/img/president.webp" alt="President Rahman" /> </div> <div class="text-center text-md-start pt-3 mt-3"> <div class="position-relative pt-4" style="max-width: 1080px"> <div class="position-absolute top-0 start-0 w-100 text-center text-md-start ms-md-1" > <svg class="text-border" width="155" height="111" viewBox="0 0 155 111" fill="currentColor" xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg" > <path d="M125.969 38.7937C129.372 30.2345 134.734 21.7781 141.902 13.6311C144.17 11.053 144.48 7.34066 142.623 4.45316C141.18 2.18441 138.808 0.94696 136.23 0.94696C135.508 0.94696 134.786 0.99826 134.064 1.25633C118.905 5.69065 83.4811 21.4171 82.5014 71.8454C82.1407 91.2842 96.3717 107.99 114.883 109.898C125.144 110.93 135.353 107.578 142.933 100.772C150.512 93.914 154.844 84.117 154.844 73.9077C154.844 56.8922 142.778 41.9905 125.969 38.7937Z" ></path> <path d="M32.5904 109.898C42.7999 110.93 53.0092 107.578 60.5888 100.772C68.1686 93.914 72.5 84.117 72.5 73.9077C72.5 56.8922 60.4342 41.9905 43.6248 38.7937C47.0281 30.2345 52.3905 21.7781 59.5578 13.6312C61.8265 11.0531 62.1359 7.34071 60.2794 4.45321C58.8358 2.18446 56.4638 0.947006 53.8857 0.947006C53.1641 0.947006 52.4421 0.998306 51.7202 1.25638C36.5608 5.6907 1.13734 21.4172 0.157654 71.8454V72.5671C0.157654 91.6968 14.2341 107.99 32.5904 109.898Z" ></path> </svg> </div> <p class="fs-xl position-relative zindex-2 text-justify-content"> I hope everyone had a successful and enjoyable time at IEEE Sections Congress 2023, which aims to bring together Section leadership from all 10 Regions to network, learn, and collectively shape the future of IEEE. </p> <p class="fs-xl mt-3 text-justify-content"> This year’s theme, “Enabling Leaders to Build a Sustainable Future” recognizes the global crisis of climate change, as well as IEEE’s commitment to helping alleviate the effects through pragmatic, accessible technical solutions for sustainability, and providing engineers and technologists with a neutral space for discussion and action.
