- Building and maintaining a pipeline of inclusive Senior and Fellow classes;
- Supporting elevations and nominations of active members to editorial boards and conference committees;
- Evaluating award nomination strategies and approaches to better reach global members;
- Supporting the participation of professionals on parent IEEE-boards.
Within the Society's leadership structure, the Professional Advancement Committee reports to the Professional & Technical Development Council. The Chair of this Committee serves that respective Council as a voting member.
