1. IEEE R10 Humanitarian Technology Activities
Coordinator: Rajnish Gupta
Good morning/afternoon.
Thank you for the invitation to speak to you.
It is always a pleasure to meet with Student Members of IEEE and those who have recently graduated and become full IEEE Members.
In past presentations, I and other IEEE Presidents have discussed -- with groups such as this -- the benefits of IEEE membership and how you should be a member and stay a member.
But my experience over time tells me that – because you are here today – you are already aware of these everyday benefits.
