2018 IEEE Senior Member Initiative Award
We proudly announce that in this year 2018 our IEEE Photonics Italy Chapter won the IEEE 2018 Senior Member Initiative Award, for “elevating 26 members to IEEE Senior Member and 6 members to IEEE Fellow. This was accomplished through regular elevation recruitment communications and meetings with the Chapter’s leadership committee and the IEEE Italy Section. The Italy chapter makes every effort to ensure different sectors are reached and are attentive to the varying needs of the photonics community. The chapter also takes pride that women make up 35% of their leadership committee, better than the Society average, which the Chapter believes contributes to the diverse make-up of their elevated members.“
The Award Ceremony took place at the IEEE Photonics Conference Award’s Banquet in Reston, VA, USA ieee-ipc.org on October 1, 2018.
