Change Champion Program
The IEEE Photonics Society Membership Council established a 'Change Champion' Program in 2019 to showcase volunteers and leaders facilitating positive change and empowering others in the photonics and optics community. Such volunteers advocate for diversity and inclusion; lead altruism projects; organize strategy sessions to implement new ideas; have proven professional development practices to share; etc.
Change Champions are trusted ambassadors and influencers, who provide leadership and create new avenues for engagement in the community.
Interested in Volunteering?
The IEEE Photonics Diversity Oversight Committee has created a speaker database where members can actively sign up to serve within their technical and/or professional subject areas. The database is used to recruit volunteers for committees, councils, conferences, etc. Learn more via the button below or contact PhotonicsSociety@ieee.org.
