IEEE Accomplishments:
|
I have been a senior member of the IEEE since 1989, first joined the IEEE in 1981. I have since been a dedicated and active volunteer and have made a conscious effort to gain experience as well as contribute to all facets of IEEE volunteer opportunities at every tier from local chapter to Society Board of Directors and beyond.
As demonstrated from my list of IEEE activities and the following list of accomplishments, my volunteer activities have been far ranging and cross cutting. I have joined and been active in the arenas of Membership, Conferences, Technical and Educational Services and Standards. I believe this prepared me to deal with virtually all strategic and long range planning activities at the Institute level. I have consistently worked to support IEEE mission and goals and my focus has always been on developing successful initiatives and programs, adding value to members. I can safely say that I am well-known for my dedication and enthusiastic service to the IEEE by my volunteer peers.
Nobody accomplishes anything without the dedicated help of others and I gratefully acknowledge the excellent co-operation of my fellow volunteers and staff. With that proviso, I am proud of my accomplishments. Some of my key accomplishments include:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Society (EMCS)
- Held four different officer roles in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Society (EMCS)

Awards and Recognitions
I am honored to have been recognized for my leadership roles and teamwork by IEEE, the EMC Society, the Israel Section, and other technical and professional organizations. These awards not only are the results of good volunteer leadership but also motivate and empower future volunteers. I believe that by working together we can make great things happen! - "2006 IEEE RAB Larry K.
