Dear YP Members, 

The IEEE UK and Ireland Young Professional Affinity Group (AG) is currently establishing a 2024 YP Elections Committee to facilitate YP Officer Elections. This election will be launched once the 2024 YP Elections Committee has been established. 

The 2024 YP Elections Committee will comprise of 3 UK and Ireland YP members who ideally are not current YP Committee Members and who are not putting themselves forward for consideration for the slate of officer positions.

Serving on the 2024 YP Elections Committee is quite straightforward and is not time intensive.

·       A call for Nominations is issued to all voting YP Members. Interested candidates should submit a position statement and biography highlighting relevant skills and experience within one month.

·       Candidates for officer positions (Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary/Treasurer) must be current IEEE and YP Members of IEEE Graduate Student Member, Member, Senior Member or Fellow grade.

·       The 2024 YP Elections Committee verify the candidates’ eligibility and willingness to serve and prepare a slate of eligible candidates for consideration by the entire UK and Ireland YP Membership for each officer position.

·       The slate is set up in the IEEE vTools Voting system, with a link to vote electronically circulated to all voting YP Members, votes are collected from the system and outcome of the election will shared with all candidates and YP members.

2024 YP Election Committee Members will receive a full briefing on the Election processes to be followed once appointed. 

If you wish to serve on the 2024 YP Elections Committee, please let me know by Friday 07 June. Please provide a context in terms of your background, professional (sector you are working in) and current/previous volunteer activities. 

Best wishes,
