✔ tc participants can gain mentoring and management skills.
considering the volunteer nature
of our society and our members' broad
knowledge, it is also necessary to share
and cast a wider net to recruit more
pes members into technical activities. our key strength is the benefits we
draw from synergies between private
and public sectors (utilities/Isos, vendors, academia, national labs, regulatory organizations, and other industry
participants), by sharing our members'
technical, business, and research
experiences and contributions globally. pes is perceived as very strong
academically. however, there is room
to improve active involvement and
participation by industry practitioners,
particularly globally.
We are part of a vital industry that
is reinventing itself at a fast pace. our
industry's metamorphosis has created an increased demand for practical expertise and a shortage of new
talent to support the developing technologies. pes members have dedicated their time to these challenges,
providing the industry with technical
leadership and a vibrant partnership
for a better future.
In summary, these programs can
be accomplished by your active engagement, including incorporating
your feedback and ideas:
✔ Increase pes membership
globally by articulating the
benefits of participation.
