Dear IEEE ITS Society Member,

Under the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) Bylaws, 15 members are elected to serve on our Board of Governors (BoG) 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 BoG meetings, which are generally scheduled either as a teleconference or in conjunction with our flagship conferences, the IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium (IV) and the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference (ITSC). You can see our current BoG here: https://ieee-itss.org/about/bog/.
