Message from the Chair
As the Chair of the IEEE Victorian section, it is my great pleasure to extend my gratitude to all the members who participated in the activities and events organized to celebrate the section’s
25th anniversary. Indeed I will, on your behalf, thank all our invited
speakers for the sacrifices they made to ensure they join us and share their expertise and accomplishments with all of us during this time of celebrations. Once again I hope that what we delivered met
your objectives and expectations for your benefit and for the benefit of the communities we work in, live in and represent. We are valued members of the IEEE in this region and we represent people from
Engineering practices, Academia, Research and other professional fraternities with accomplishments, innovations and future directions in Information, Communications, Signal processing and Management,
and our influence cannot be ignored.
Quoting from my message at the beginning of the year; “We endeavor to bequeath, the knowledge we have and the experiences we have accumulated over the years, to future generations, who after all
will be the future leaders of influence in this country”. If you are member who has not participated in any of our activities, I will encourage you to do as required in future as your contribution
means a lot to us and it is your good example that will encourage others to join our section. If you are a non member, I will encourage you to contact us and join this exciting Institute that is home to
many people who are shaping the way we live, work and play. Please visit our website where you will find links to Societies, Student Chapters, Women in Engineering (WIE) and Graduates of the last decade
(GOLD) one of which may be suitable for you; and in addition, you may contact the relevant listed officers for more information. Last but not least; next Year marks the 125th Year since the inception of
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers in the USA. A number of events are earmarked for this milestone both domestically and internationally and your participation will be highly sought;
please keep your eyes on this web page.
Congratulations to the organizing committee and the executive committee for a job well done. I hope we have the fortitude to continue the dream of success, sustainability and member retention, underpinned
by determination, dedication and commitment.
I look forward to keep working with you all.

About the IEEE and Victorian Section
The Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) was founded in 1884 and is a worldwide
technical professional society devoted to advancing the theory and application
of electrical engineering, electronics and computing. The IEEE is the
world's largest technical professional body with over 330,000 electrical
and electronics engineers, scientists and other professionals in approximately
150 countries. The IEEE has divided the world up into Regions, and the
IEEE Victorian Section is part of Region
10 (Asia & Pacific) and represents the Australian states of Victoria
and Tasmania. All IEEE members who reside in Victoria or Tasmania are
automatically members of our Section.
The local Victorian Section of the IEEE has over 1,600 members. The Section
is run by a committee of locally elected IEEE members (refer Section
Committee) and includes eight special interest groups called Chapters.
Each Chapter has a Chair and is responsible for organising a number of
interesting seminars, site visits, workshops or conferences, throughout
the year (refer Chapters).
