At the first session of the Meet the 2026 IEEE President-Elect Candidates Forum held on 27 June 2025, IEEE President-Elect Candidates David Alan Koehler and Jill I. Gostin answered ten important questions submitted by the IEEE membership.
The candidates shared insights on open access, volunteer engagement, and IEEE conferences:
- What are your top priorities for responding to open access demands, advancing multimedia publishing, serving members, authors, and readers, and ensuring IEEE’s status as a leading trusted source among technology professionals?
- What have you done to encourage volunteer engagement and how would you continue this as president?
- What is your vision for improving IEEE-sponsored conferences and events worldwide for all fields of interest within IEEE?
Watch candidates’ responses to these questions and on other important topics on the Election Showcase on IEEE.tv.
