“Enabling Leaders to Build a Sustainable Future” Prof BS Chowdhry attends IEEE Sections Congress in Ottawa

IEEE Sections Congress is the triennial flagship event hosted by IEEE that brings together the grassroots leadership of IEEE from every member country so that they can share ideas, concerns, and solutions. Through the congress, we aspire to create an environment for all the delegates to explore how IEEE can better serve its members, both now and going forward. Distinguished IEEE personnel, academic and industry leaders graced the event in Ottawa, Canada.
Prof Chowdhry was the only Delegate from Pakistan who attended SECTION CONGRESS SC2023 in Shaw Centre Capitol Hill, Ottawa, as Chair IEEE Karachi Section, Asia Pacific RegionIEEE. He had a chance to meet with past, present and future IEEE PRESIDENTS and delegates. Recognizing the significance, IEEE MGA has selected “Enabling Leaders to Build a Sustainable Future” as the theme for Sections Congress. The entire congress program was focused on addressing this theme, while also encompassing other vital training for IEEE volunteers.
Additionally, one of the objectives of Sections Congress was to provide our dedicated volunteers with a unique opportunity to offer recommendations to IEEE regarding what we believe is essential for volunteers and members. This year, the process involved the submission of statements from each of the 10 geographical regions of IEEE. Each region followed a rigorous process to propose three recommendations that met the criteria of achievability, worldwide relevance, conciseness, and alignment with the Congress theme. Everyone was excited to have the opportunity to meet again after the pandemic. It was great opportunity to meet IEEE President, President-elect and many other delegates from all the ten regions. The Sections Congress Committee and the whole governing body of MGA and its staff have worked very hard to bring a consistent, interesting, and useful program for all attendees, which I am sure you will enjoy.
