Abstract :
IEEE election time is here again, and I have been disappointed by the low ballot return in past years. These of course are changing times, with the engineer´s standing in society and rewards both diminished from a decade ago. And the IEEE is also changing, vigorously entering into pension activities and other items concerning the economic aspects of engineering employment. With all these changes taking place, it is vital that the leadership move in directions which will best benefit and please most of the members. Your vote is important, as this is one of the best ways of steering the Institute.
