IEEE Standards activities: A year in review. Annual activities report 1996
For IEEE Standards and the constituency it serves, 1996 was a milestone year. It was a period that signaled the beginning of the Standards Program of the future. This program responds to worldwide standards issues and to the technical, market and competitive strategies of industrial sectors. It represents technological innovation, global participation in electrotechnology standards development and dedication to the on-going advancement and promotion of new concepts and technology. Instrumental in ensuring IEEE`s growth opportunities and leadership position in electrotechnology standards development and dissemination is IEEE membership. The value of members and their involvement in IEEE Standards is vital to IEEE`s ability to continuously be the best professional association in the world. To fulfill this vision, IEEE set forth five goals -- increased globalization, career enhancement, electronic dissemination of existing products and services, organizational improvements and public responsibility. Key in the process for the achievement of these goals is to make certain that IEEE members are well informed about opportunities and benefits the present system of standardization offers, and what the future system will offer. With the member in mind, the Standards Board reviewed its strategic direction and operational structures, and its ability to deliver products and services that are needed now and, more importantly, that will be needed in the future. This Annual Activities Report provides a comprehensive picture of 1996 accomplishments and performance. It gives readers a broad picture of the Standards Board`s activities, the evolving role of IEEE Standards and the technological opportunities that the Board encourages.
