IEEE Hampton Roads PES?

Could there be a IEEE Power & Engineering Society (PES) – Hampton Roads Chapter? Yes if you help to establish it. The IEEE Power & Energy Society (recently renamed from the Power Engineering Society) or PES is the oldest society in IEEE and consists of 21,550 members. Hampton Roads is home to 169 of those members. The fields of interest in this society are in the research, development, installation and operation of systems for the generation, transmission, distribution, measurement and control of electric energy. PES provides the world’s largest forum for sharing the latest in technological developments in the electric power industry and for creating standards for the development and construction of equipment and systems.
As a chapter technical presentations can be more focused on subjects that matter most to its members. Chapters have their own officers: chair, vice-chair, secretary, and treasurer. If you are interested in establishing a IEEE Power & Engineering Society – Hampton Roads Chapter please contact Kurt Clemente or James Bolitho.
