Election Principles                                                                                                                                                                                         

The EPS Board of Governors (BoG) includes 18 Members-at-Large, elected by the full voting membership of the Society. The three-year terms of the Members-at-Large are staggered, so that six Members-at-Large to the Board of Governors are elected annually.

Members-at-Large are elected to achieve totals proportionate to the geographic distribution of EPS members. Any IEEE Region/grouping of Regions determined to have at least 10% of total EPS members will have the proportional number of Member-at-Large positions designated to it for representation on the BoG.  The slate of candidates for each year’s election will be constructed to ensure that the resulting total of newly elected Members-at-Large plus continuing Members-at-Large has the proper proportion of representatives from each Region/grouping of Regions.

Each Region/grouping of Regions will have a separate slate of candidates from that Region.  Voting members will elect members-at-large from within their Region only (that is, members in Region 8 vote for Members-at-Large from Region 8, members in Region 10 vote for Members-at-Large from Region 10; etc.).

Eligibility                                                                                                                                                                                            

Candidates for Member-at-Large must:                  

     - be a current member of both IEEE and EPS

    - be willing to attend two annual Board meetings

     - be willing to participate actively in areas of their interest (publications, conferences, membership development, chapter development, etc).
