Chair’s Corner

January 2024

Happy New Year to you all!  It is my privilege to serve you as the new Chair of the Dayton section of IEEE.  As we close out 2023, let us thank Dr. Charles Cerny, the outgoing Chair, for his many years of dedication and service to our section.  Thank you, Charlie!  We have a new executive committee (ExCom), with Professor Amy Doll, University of Dayton, serving as the new Vice-Chair, and Professor Mike Saville, AFIT, serving as the new Secretary.  Ms. Barbara Frantom, AFRL, will continue to serve as the treasurer for the section.  We are looking forward to a productive 2024.  Our ExCom will meet virtually each month and plan events for the year.  We welcome all members to join the virtual meetings.  We will have at least one in-person member event each quarter.  We welcome your inputs to make the section a vibrant one.  Our main event is the IEEE National Aerospace Electronics Conference (NAECON) which is scheduled for July 15-18, 2024, at the Holiday Inn, Fairborn.  Please check www.naecon.org for updates on the conference. Have a wonderful New Year 2024!

Best Wishes,

Guru
