GET INVOLVED!! Whether you are active in IEEE ExCom, are a chair of a technical society, or just a paying member, we thank you for being a part of something that we think is pretty great. If you want to get more involved, you know where to find us! And if you just want to enjoy the hard (and not-so-hard) work of our volunteers by attending our events we would love that even more! Take advantage of the monthly volunteering efforts we have put together for you. Try something new, meet some new people, and learn something new by listening to a distinguished lecturer. Oh, and thank you for being a reader of our newsletter! |
ExCom Meetings We are going back to in-person meetings. We will continue to offer virtual for those unable or uncomfortable with being there. Notices will be sent when they will be held. We will advise everyone when they are back in person. Recent ExCom Actions

IEEE Denver PES/IAS represented at the PES GM 2022
Giancarlo Leone, chair of IEEE Denver Section PES/IAS Chapter, and Hassaan Idrees presented about their experiences as part of the host chapter's Local Organizing Committee at the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) General Meeting (GM) 2022 held at Sheraton Downtown Denver from July 17th through 21st.
They spoke about the challenges on organizing a conference in a post-pandemic world, the resources they were able to utilize, and the support they received from within the industry and academic circles of the Denver Section.
The PES GM 2022, which kicked off with a warm welcome reception at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, was touted a big success, with more than 2000 attendees in presence throughout the five-day event. The technical talks, late-breaking and super sessions, paper and poster presentations, and the plenary talks attracted a wide variety of audience, including a sizable international presence. The conference concluded with the next iteration scheduled to be held in Orlando, FL in the summer of 2023.

Message from Jim Sipes, Chair, IEEE Denver Section, Jim Sipes - jsipes@ieee.org
Happy New Year, and welcome to 2023!
As of January 1, 2023, I am now Immediate Past Chair of the Denver Section, and this message will be my last act as the 2021-2022 Chair. Congratulations to the new Chair, Jeff Hardy!
The past year, 2022, has been a year of moving back to a state of near-normalcy as the section and most of the chapters and groups have evolved toward more in-person activities, although the learnings from the pandemic period about the value of virtual and hybrid meetings, particularly across geographic distances, continue to be applied.
As mentioned in the last newsletter, the section held a family picnic at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds on October 29. The weather was perfect, and we had 66 members, guests, and student members in attendance. Reviews from those who attended were uniformly great with many requests to make it an annual event. Special recognition goes to Jim Harrer, Yvonne Gray, Eric Ericson, and many others who volunteered to make it a successful day.
Also, following up from the last newsletter, the section held an election of new officers in November. Congratulations to Sarah Beckman, past secretary, who was elected Vice Chair, and Michele Miller, who was elected Treasurer. I’d also like to recognize and thank Avijit Saha, outgoing Treasurer, for his work over the past several years to keep the section financially afloat. We still have an opening at section Secretary, as no candidates were identified, so if anyone has an interest in stepping up to take on that role, they would be welcomed.
A senior member upgrade event was held in October as an opportunity for members who qualified to have support in applying for senior member upgrade. As a result of that event, as well as others applying, 10 members were approved for elevation at the November meeting of the review committee. Congratulations to Jeff Broderick, Philip Gold, Rishabh Jain, Dean Levi, Paritosh Manurkar, Laila Marzall, Dimitry Mikhailov, Deepthi Vaidhynathan, Xiaoli Zhang, and Michael Zinanti on your elevation to senior membership. In addition, at the September meeting of the Senior Member Upgrade review committee, four section members were approved for upgrade. Congratulations also to Olubayo Babatunde, Lakhbir Singh, Arun Sukumaran Nair, and Kevin Vannorsdel on your elevation to senior membership. This brings us to a total of 29 members of the Denver Section whose professional contributions were recognized by elevation to senior member in 2022.
The section maintains a list of senior members who have volunteered to serve as references for members who are applying for the upgrade. If you are a senior member and interested in serving as a reference for candidates, or are interested in applying for the upgrade to senior member, please send a note to Jeff Hardy at chair@ieee-denver.org or me at past-chair@ieee-denver.org. I urge all who may be eligible for the upgrade to apply. Requirements for the upgrade can be found at https://www.ieee.org/membership/senior/senior-requirements.html.
Planning for the 2023 Green Technologies Conference and Region 5 Annual Meeting and Student Competitions, to be held in Denver on April 19 – 23, 2023, continues. We will need many more volunteers to make these conferences a success. Details on the conferences are at https://ieeegreentech.org and https://r5conferences.org/, and the call for volunteers is at https://ieeegreentech.org/call-for-volunteers/ . Please join us in putting together these conferences.
As always, we continue to have many opportunities to contribute as a volunteer to the Section or to your Chapter/Group of choice, and all members of the section are welcome at the monthly ExCom meetings on the third Tuesday of the month (except July and December). We are holding these now as hybrid meetings, so you are welcome to join us in person for dinner (on the Section) and a discussion of Section activities or join us online via Webex (but no free DoorDash!). Watch for the eNotices announcing the meetings to see the details.
There is a listing of the current chapters and groups supported by the Denver Section on the Section’s website, https://ieee-denver.org/, under the menu heading Denver Groups. Contacts for each of the chapters/groups are available on the individual chapter/group websites.
In closing, I’d like to thank my fellow section officers and the section membership for their support over my past two years as section chair. I am passing the baton to Jeff with mixed feelings – happy to be moving on to new challenges, and sad to be leaving the role. But I have great confidence in Jeff and the other new officers to continue the success of the section, and, as I told Jeff, I’m not going anywhere.
Until we meet again, stay safe.
Jim

From the Editor's Desk, Ernest Worthman - ernest_worthman@ieee.org
Happy New Year, everyone. I have been slammed the last part of 2022 so I thought I'd take a break from my column this issue. But I do want to wish you all a prosperous and happy 2023 and hope things get on a better track, globally, next year.
