A message from Luis Kun, Chair of the SSIT Nominations Committee:
Dear colleagues,
Earlier this year, two candidates submitted their interest in the position of President-Elect of IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT). Unfortunately, one of them recently withdrew their name. Therefore, the SSIT Nominations & Appointments Committee is opening a second call for the position. Please see below for details.
The deadline for submissions of self-nominations is 17 August 2025.
SSIT is seeking candidates for President-Elect (2025 and 2026)
2025 President-Elect is a six-year commitment.
Two years as President-Elect (2025 and 2026)
Two years as President (2027-2028)
Two years as Past President (2029-2030)
The President-Elect should expect to spend 2 to 4 days per month on SSIT-related activities. As the Society President this time will increase to 4 to 8 days per month. The President leads the monthly BoG conference calls. Additionally, the President attends three two-day Technical Activities Board (TAB) meetings per year, usually held in February, June and November. Travel expenses associated with attendance at the TAB meetings are provided by SSIT.
The deadline for nomination for President-Elect is 17 August 2025.
