  1. Standards Education Speakers Bureau 2011 Update for SEC: April 2011 Susan Tatiner and Rona Gertz

  2. SESB Progress in 2010 • Procedures approved. Program has moved out of pilot stage. • SESB included in formal budgeting process for 2011 and outyears. • $14K for travel (2011) • $3K for honoraria (2011) • 3 engagements in 2010 ; jointly with others

  3. SESB 2011 • At least 5 engagements planned for 2011 ; two to date • Chicago workshop (travel expenses) • Guest lecture at DeVry (honorarium + minimal expenses) • There are opportunities to engage in co-sponsorships and other collaborations • Region 8 • Region 1 • Will help stretch funds

  4. Region 8 Opportunities • 1) IEEE Africon 2011, Zambia, September 2011 • 2) Interest in a slate of standards education workshops in R8 in 2011, focused on the practicing engineer • To be funded by SA SESB, EA, and R8 • Organized and promoted with help from local Sections • “Demystifying IEEE Standards” model to be used for these workshops • Part 1, IEEE Standards (including process, participation, case study) • Part 2, Segment on chosen technology area (telecom, SG, cloud computing) • If SEC approves next step, need to develop full proposal, budget, operational plan • 3) R8’s Industry Continuing Education Development (ICED) has a functioning speakers bureau and is interested in collaborating with SESB. • Possibly in connection with the above workshops

  5. Region 1 Opportunity • Collaborate with R1, PES, IEEE Future Directions Committee, and possibly others on Smart Grid-related conferences. • Conferences would include a Smart Grid for Practitioners (SG4P) track, and SEC is being asked to contribute a 4-hour tutorial, possibly a panel discussion, or workshop. • Two venues in development: • Buffalo, NY, October 2011. Renewable Energy Conference. Partnering with SUNY, Stony Brook. • NYC in March 2012. Stony Brook Advanced Energy Conference at NY Hilton. IEEE will provide both practical and academic tracks in collaboration with NYU-Polytech. • Feedback and best practices from these may be used to to create a Smart Grid for Practitionersmini-conference in Rio de Janiero later in 2012. • Initial model is for Future Directions Committee budget to cover the travel and honoraria for SA presenter(s) and, in the absence of other donors or benefactors, the attendees would cover the cost of breaks and meals plus the CEU charge from Educational Activities (about $75/day) for a two day event.

  6. Recommendations • Staff to explore R8 and R1 opportunities as SESB opportunities, including budget impact • Assign volunteer partners for guidance and technical input

  7. THANKS!
