My IEEE Volunteer Activities
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is the world's largest publisher of technology-related material and an amazing transnational organization. During my volunteering work in its various organizational units I have met many wonderful people from all over the world and learned a lot about management and communication in a multi-cultural environment.
