future. The column and overall issue serve
to stimulate further discussion among
engineers and those in the social sciences
and humanities.

History
robert barnett wrote an outstanding
column on arc lighting systems for the
"history" column. These remarkably
sophisticated systems provided light
through a variety of technologies from
around 1885 through 1915. The column
describes the types, design evolution, and
maintenance of arc lights, which gave rise
to the earliest distribution systems.

Society Updates
A note of appreciation to all ieee
Power & energy Society (PeS) candidates
and congratulations to our newly elected leadership:
✔ President-elect Frank C. lambert
✔ Secretary Jessica bian
✔ Treasurer Nouredine hadjsaid.
in "leader's Corner," Saifur rahman, incoming PeS president, describes

the state of the Society and shares his
vision of our future. Thanks to the leadership of our outgoing president Damir
Novosel, our executive team, and you,
our volunteers and membership, the largest global professional society of electric
power professionals remains active and
strong. The innumerable remarkable
achievements, phenomenal growth of
membership, and new initiatives provide
a sound foundation on which our Society will continue to grow and reach evergreater heights. The worldwide opportunities for growth of PeS activities spans
providing technical support to national
governments, educational opportunities for our membership through publications available in several languages,
attendance at conferences, and other
opportunities for academia and industry to learn and grow together. The
global focus on the technology, best
practices, standards, education, and
better customer engagement can only
be accomplished through our membership. Please share your thoughts
