Dear IEEE ITS Society member,

Under the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society Bylaws, 15 members are elected to serve on our Board of Governors to manage the Society’s resources, represent the Society within IEEE and arrange for technical publications, conferences and other benefits to the members. The Governors serve for three years, where five Governor positions are to be elected each year.

To help manage the activities of the Society, ITSS Governors shall actively participate in the Board of Governors (BoG) meetings, which are generally scheduled either as a teleconference or in conjunction with our flagship conferences, the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium and the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference. You can see our current Governors here:

  • As you consider potential nominees, please take into account that ITSS wishes to promote diversity. As such, the ITSS N&A Committee encourages nominations that complete the current composition of BoG with respect to, to name a few, technical, gender, and geographic diversity.

  • Only those legally cast ballots received by IEEE on or before November 9 will be counted.

In accordance with the Society Bylaws, Article V, sections 9 and 10, for each elective office of the Society, individual voting members eligible to vote in such election may nominate candidates either by a written petition or by majority vote at a nomination meeting of the BoG, provided such nominations are made at least 28 days before the date of election.

Petitions must be submitted no later than August 31 (strict deadline)

Newly elected Governors for this cycle will start their term in January 2023 and will conclude their service on December 2025.
