PES Meetings

Thanks

PES-sponsored and cosponsored meetings and conferences are listed in the
"Calendar" department. The PES General Meeting was modified from a face-toface event in Montréal to a virtual conference on 2-6 August 2020. I am sure that
the meeting was a success based on the
hard work of the many volunteers and
staff who planned and prepared for this
pivot. Other sponsored and cosponsored
meetings are listed in the calendar as virtual or hybrid, and others may change
as this issue goes to press, including the
IEEE PES T&D Conference and Exposition, which was cancelled for 2020. We will
see you in New Orleans for T&D 2022.

Mike, in his role as editor-in-chief, began a tradition of closing every "From
the Editor" column with a list of thank
yous. I will continue Mike's tradition
here. I want to thank the guest editors,
Girish Behal and Kimberly Laing, for
their respective efforts with the feature
articles and two columns in this issue.
I would like to thank the authors of
the four feature articles, the two additional articles, and the two "History"
pieces as well as the columns and features. Robert Henderson went above
and beyond the call of duty in assisting
with this issue, and I thank him for his
extensive efforts. As a novice interim

editor-in-chief, I appreciate Geri Krolin-Taylor, senior managing editor, for
her guidance and Maria Proetto, Shanon Nason, and Roseanne Jones, of the
IEEE PES Executive Office, for their
friendly advice and help on the PES
content. The work of our IEEE Magazines Design team is always appreciated. A thank you to Mike Henderson
for assistance and guidance along the
way during this changing of the guard.
Finally, I thank Mel Olken for encouraging me to take on the role of associate editor, History, in 2018, which put
me in a position to step in as interim
editor-in-chief during this brief transitional time for the magazine.
