We are pleased to announce the Baltimore Section Annual Election. Candidate nominations are now being accepted for the IEEE Baltimore Section Executive Committee (ExCom). We are seeking nominations for the following elected positions.
- Chair, Term Start: 01 Jan 2026, Term End: 31 Dec 2026
- Vice Chair, Term Start: 01 Jan 2026, Term End: 31 Dec 2026

Some details about Baltimore ExCom: the ExCom meets once a month from September to June for about 2 hours to manage the operations of IEEE Baltimore Section. Since the onset of the COVID pandemic these meetings generally have been via ZOOM teleconferencing which in turn facilitates opportunity for greater member participation. The ExCom is responsible for managing, coordinating, and financing Section activities and events, including conferences, continuing education, membership growth, and middle and high school outreach, to name a few. Baltimore Section comprises 12 Society Chapters and three Affinity Groups (Life Members, Young Professionals and Women in Engineering). Since IEEE Bylaws require that officer elections occur annually we are currently working to receive candidate nominations for all of the aforementioned ExCom officer positions. Perhaps volunteering to be an ExCom officer for Baltimore in 2026 might be of interest to you?
If you are interested in volunteering to be an officer for the Baltimore ExCom, David Kisak, Election Committee Chair, and the Election Committee, will appreciate hearing from you and we can discuss officer positions that might interest you; Dave can be reached at dkisak@ieee.org. One thing to consider is that ExCom officers are well supported because many of the regular participants have been engaged with Baltimore Section activities for 10 or more years (most have been ExCom (Chair).
The nomination deadline is 31 August 2025 11:59 PM. Nominees must be IEEE members of Baltimore Section as of 31 August 2025 and be of Graduate Student Member, Member, Senior Member, Life Member, or Fellow grade. The Petition opening will be announced to all eligible members by 1 October and the deadline to place petitions will be 15 October 2025 12:00 AM. Voting will be held utilizing vTools.
Please go to https://nominations.vtools.ieee.org/tego_/nominate_or_petition/R20003 using your IEEE account credential to nominate yourself or another member. With nominations, we ask each candidate to present a biography, and a statement of plan.
