VANCOUVER SECTION AGM 2023

On Saturday March 25, 2023 the Vancouver Section held its Annual General Meeting and Gala event. The event was a major success, bringing together more than 100 members, guests, and friends of the section. This marked the return to an in-person event for the first time since 2019, following three years of virtual-only AGMs without corresponding galas. Attendees were glad to be in-person once again, enjoying the company of friends and colleagues, as well as a fantastic buffet dinner.

In addition to the tradition reports associated with the AGM business, the event also included:

• a student poster competition
• an address by IEEE Canada President Rob Anderson
• the announcement of Vancouver Section Awards
• recognition of one member’s 50 year IEEE anniversary
• the announcement of Vancouver Section Scholarship Awards
• a unique keynote conversation featuring Shivam Kishore of the United Nations
