Abstract :
I am honored to serve as president of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement (I&M) Society. I follow in the giant footsteps of very capable presidents, vice presidents, and members of the Administrative Committee (AdCom). I count the recent past presidents, Alessandro Ferrero, Steve Dyer, Bob Rassa, and Brian Wadell, as mentors and friends. They represent just a few of the folks that I highly esteem as insightful, caring, and dedicated volunteers within our society. Our society has a storied past, a vibrant present, and a hopeful future. I am delighted to have been and to be involved with you in all three eras.
