Gerald H. Peterson Statement for SMC Newsletter
I am honored to be a candidate for the office of IEEE
President-elect
2006, and to have this opportunity to share a few brief remarks on my
candidacy - please see my
web site.
Over 37 years, I have held positions in hardware and software design and engineering management and hold one US Patent in the field of telecommunications . In the past 17 years I have specialized in industry global strategic standardization. I currently hold the position of Senior Manager Emeritus at Lucent Technologies Bell Labs.
I hold Electrical Engineering degrees from the University of Washington and Rutgers University (both in the USA). I am a member of the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honor Society. In 2001 I was recognized as a "Who's Who" in its publication, THE BENT of Tau Beta Pi. Also in 2001 I received the American National Standards Institute's Finegan Standards Medal for leadership in the development and application of voluntary standards. In addition to my leadership experience in the IEEE, I have served in elected national and international leadership positions that have delivered global technical standards and promoted increased global cooperation.
We live in a time of accelerating change and globalization.
The IEEE
must respond to and help drive these changes if it is to continue to
be a preeminent technical society. Key among these changes is how the
IEEE delivers value to industry worldwide and, thus, value to the members
of the IEEE. Our work and focus is on technology, which we must carry
out while maintaining connection to the real word of markets and social
benefit. The SMCS Society is in the center and a driver of change, and
I look forward to working with SMCS to help continue IEEE's leadership.
I know both the importance and the scope of the responsibility
of being IEEE President and Chief Executive Officer, and if elected
I am
committed to giving my full time and attention to the office of IEEE
President in 2007. I appreciate your consideration and welcome your
questions, comments, and suggestions.
