After having been active as an IEEE volunteer for quite some years (Student Branch Counselor for 11 years, member of the Region 8 Student Activities Committee for 11 years, Benelux Section Chair for two years, Region 8 Student Activities Committee Chair for two years, presently MGA Student Activities Chair), I would very much like to become the Region 8 Director-Elect in 2011-2012 and Director in 2013-2014. Elections will take place in August-September 2010, and to get my name added to the ballot, I needed to collect 876 signatures.

The petition process has ended on Friday 11 June 2010 at 16:00 GMT. With 1360 IEEE members who have signed the petition, I have reached the required number of signatures and I am now a petition candidate, i.e., nominated directly by the members! I sincerely thank all the IEEE members who have signed the petition.

The election has ended on Friday 1 October 2010 at 17:00 GMT; results will be announced on Thursday 7 October 2010 at the election site. I thank all IEEE members who have cast their votes. IEEE deserves it!

The IEEE election results are out: I have been elected as the IEEE Region 8 Director-Elect 2011-2012. A sincere "Thank you!" to all IEEE members who have voted for me!
