CASS 2027-2029 BoG Call for Nominations
Each year, the members of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) elect new Governors to serve the Society starting at the beginning of the following year. I am calling on you now to nominate candidates for this year’s Board of Governors (BoG) elections.
CASS is a professional volunteer-based organization. It is essential that we elect energetic and engaged leaders who will organize activities to meet the needs of the entire Circuits and Systems community and who will guide our Society into the future. As a CASS member, you are in an excellent position to know the strengths of your fellow members and how they can best serve our community.
As you consider potential nominees, please take into account that CASS wishes to promote collaboration and engagement in every possible dimension. As such, CASS would appreciate nominations from individuals with different backgrounds and skillsets to positively shape the composition of the BoG.
Board of Governors
Five members of the CAS Society will be elected this year to serve a three-year term on the Board of Governors.
We are seeking nominations for the following positions:
- 3 Member-at-Large
- Region 1-7 Regional Member-at-Large
- Region 9 Regional Member-at-Large
A total of five seats on the CAS Society Board of Governors are up for election this year. Three Members-at-Large will be elected by the Society membership at large to serve a three-year term on the Board of Governors. One Members-at-Large for Regions 1-7, and one Region 9 Regional Member-at-Large, will be elected by the regional Society membership from which they currently reside and will serve a three-year term on the Board of Governors.
For more details on these positions, please read our Society Bylaws.
The Board of Governors represents the members of the Society and approves the Society’s annual budget, and amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws, elects Society Officers, and authorizes the expenditure of Society funds. Members of the Board of Governors are expected to attend two annual meetings, one in the first half of the year and one in the second half of the year. Eligibility criteria stated in the CAS Society Bylaws at Article IV, Section 4.5, are: Candidates for Officer or Member of the Board of Governors must be members of the CASS Society in good standing for the two years immediately preceding their candidacy and meet all other requirements of the Constitution and the Bylaws.
Complete Board of Governors' nominations must be received using the process described at the end of the page by 5:00 PM EDT (UTC -4:00) on 15 June 2026, in order to be considered.
Nomination Process
There are two options for adding nominees to the election slate. Nominators should indicate which of the following two options they prefer.
- The first option is to nominate by petition. The IEEE rule regarding the nomination petition process states: “For all positions where the electorate is less than 30,000 voting members, signatures shall be required from 2% of the eligible voters.” The number of signatures required on a petition shall depend on the number of eligible voters, as listed in the official IEEE membership records, at the end of the year preceding the election.” For CASS in this nomination cycle, this implies that a petitioner will need 243 signatures for a nominee to be automatically placed on the election ballot. If you wish to be nominated by petition, please email (Click to show email). The CASS Operations Manager will then set up a web-based petition that will collect electronic signatures from eligible CASS members. According to IEEE rules, a candidate with a valid nomination by petition is guaranteed to be on the ballot. Please note that only signatures received by close of business on 15 June 2026 at 5:00 PM EDT (UTC -4:00), will be considered. Sign any active petition electronically at www.ieee.org/petition. Please use your IEEE Account to authenticate access.
- The second option involves forwarding the nomination to the Nominations Committee, which may also place candidates on the ballot at its discretion. Forwarded nominations should be submitted to the nomination form, here.
