Position Statement

With our rapidly changing society and profession, the Computer Society must be a technology, global policy, and professional leader. We must be agile and willing to adapt to the changing needs of our membership. We need to harness our membership‘s world-class expertise and innovation to provide international IT leadership, guidance, and direction. We must maintain our core values and highest quality of our products and services, while innovating to be market leaders in delivery of our products and services.

As Second Vice President, I will lead this innovative excellence by first actively recruiting young members worldwide and engaging them as active Society volunteers to provide creative and responsive ideas, products, and services for our membership. Second, I will champion integrating, streamlining, and bolstering our various activities to create new, focused, valuable products for our diverse, global membership. Engineers, researchers, educators, and students should all receive valuable benefits from their membership. Moreover, we need to actively utilize our members’ world-class innovative results presented in our conferences and journals for education, services, and professional development. We need to adapt these advances to transform the way we do business, making us leaders in technology-delivered material and services to our membership. Our goal must be to provide innovation, service, and value to our membership throughout their careers.
