IEEE Power Electronics Society Fellows 2010

IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of Institute membership, conferred only by election by the Board of Directors.  Candidates must be senior members with at least five years of IEEE membership.  The nominator is responsible for preparation of the formal nomination form; identification of five to eight IEEE Fellows, capable of assessing the candidate’s contributions, who agree to serve as references; identification of an IEEE Society or Council whose evaluating committee will assess the candidate’s technical qualifications and contributions.  All material is sent to the Fellow Committee, which must review all nominations and assessments, and prepare a ranked list.  The total number of Fellow recommendations each year can not exceed 0.1% of IEEE membership, exclusive of Students and Associates.
