Institute news: Statements from IEEE candidates: Those running for IEEE office this fall give brief indications of their positions on vital issues

Ten IEEE offices, including those of the President and Vice President, must be filled this fall in the Institute's annual election. This means, of course, that the postman will shortly be delivering the ballots upon which IEEE voting members can indicate their preferences. To facilitate the process, IEEE Spectrum is publishing, as we do each year, brief statements by the candidates. In addition, in accordance with a new election procedure in Region 6 (see page 83), statements by the candidates for Vice Chairman in that Region are included also. Further, for those who are unacquainted with IEEE procedures, we shall review the Institute's election process.
