Support Martin Bastiaans for IEEE Region 8 Delegate-Elect/Director-Elect, 2011-2012

The previous Benelux section chair, Martin Bastiaans, from Eindhoven university, has started a petition to enter the elections for region 8 director. Next to be very active in the section and as counselor of the student branch of Eindhoven, he has also served as vice-chairman of the region 8 in 2007-2008. He has recently been elevated to the grade of IEEE fellow and is the 2009 recipient of the prestigious MGA Larry K. Wilson Transnational Award for his work for students. He has the experience and the vision needed to lead our region. We would like to ask you to support Martin's effort to get into the elections and sign his petition here www.ieee.org/election or directly at www.ieee.org/petition. You can also spread the word to your IEEE collegues outside the branch.

Martin Bastiaans is a strong supporter of IEEE student activities and a friend of the branch (He is in the supervisory board of our student branch congress). We strongly encourage you to sign his petition as it will give him the opportunity to compete in the elections.
