Volunteering with the IEEE Computer Society is a doorway to new connections, opportunities, and skills. After retiring from my role as the Victorian Computer Society Chapter Chair, I joined the CS MGA Board taking on two roles, one involved supporting a handful of chapters, and the other was judging student awards. I moved across a range of positions within the CS MGA Board and today I serve as the Computer Society’s Vice President for Member Geographic Activities. In my role, I get to meet and support hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers from around the world; student leaders, young professionals, established academics, senior university administrators, and professionals in the industry, government, and civil society. I participate in strategic and governance work and have enjoyed and continue to enjoy serving alongside some of the best leaders and minds in the field.
