Prof. Emeritus Izzet KALE
IEEE Region 8 Director — Elect Candidate

Personal Statement
As Director-elect, I’ll bring a global outlook to Region 8, leveraging my 39+ years’ experience and international links in academia and industry. I will provide equal opportunities for all members to engage in industry-technology related activities.
My goal is to ensure Region 8’s growth and deliver value for money services, focusing on harmonious collaboration between industry, professional practice, and academia. I envision IEEE as a locally relevant, go-to professional organization.
In my previous role as Research Director, I successfully implemented a similar vision, leading a diverse group of academics in various disciplines, conducting industry-facing, cross-disciplinary research on a national-international scale.
I aim to actively support STEM-activities for underprivileged school-kids throughout Region 8, introducing them to IEEE at an early age through IEEE sponsored twinning-programs.
As Director-elect, I will encourage Region 8 to undertake cohesive, industry-linked activities that influence the future and connect globally. These activities will be inclusive for all, providing a common platform to work from, regardless of their location within Region 8.
I know and have what it takes to deliver my vision.
